In a 45-45-90 triangle, the relationship between the sides and the hypotenuse is as follows:
Both of the legs (the two sides opposite the 45-degree angles) have equal lengths.
The length of each leg is equal to the square root of 2 (approximately 1.414) times the length of the hypotenuse.
The hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the length of one leg times the square root of 2 (approximately 1.414).
What is the relationship between the sides and hypotenuse of a 45-45-90 triangle?
