Question

What is the ratio of the sides of a 45-45-90 triangle?(1 point).

Answer 1

In a 45-45-90 triangle, the sides are in a specific ratio. The two legs (the sides opposite the 45-degree angles) are of equal length, and the hypotenuse (the side opposite the 90-degree angle) is √2 times the length of one of the legs. Therefore, the ratio of the sides can be expressed as:

1 : 1 : √2

This means that if each leg has a length of \(1\), the hypotenuse will have a length of \(√2\).
