Question

what is the length of leg s of the triangle below?
a. 16
b. sqrt{4}
c. 4
d. sqrt{52}
e. 15
f. 22

Explanation:

Step1: Identify Triangle Type

The triangle has angles \(45^\circ\), \(45^\circ\), \(90^\circ\), so it's an isosceles right triangle. In such triangles, the two legs are equal.

Step2: Determine Leg Length

One leg is given as \(4\), so the other leg \(s\) (since legs are equal in a \(45 - 45 - 90\) triangle) must also be \(4\).

Answer:

C. 4
