Assignment 7.7 is a development of theorems relating the lengths of sides in isosceles right triangles.

 

Prerequisite Skills:  Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find lengths of sides in right triangles (Assignment 7.3). 

 

Theorems:   The length of the hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is equal to the length of a leg multiplied by    2  .

                           The length of a leg of an isosceles right triangle is equal to one-half the length of the hypotenuse multiplied by    2  .
