Remember 45° 45° s s*2 s In a 45°-45°-90° triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is 2 times the length of the leg. Use the length of the hypotenuse to find the length of the leg. Write an equation and solve.
hypotenuse length = 2 · leg length
9 *2 = *2 · g Plug in
9= g Divide both sides by 2
So, g = 9 inches.

Find t.
45° 45° 2 t
2 23 22 2
45° s s2 s In a 45°-45°-90° triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is 2 times the length of the leg. Use the length of the leg to find the length of the hypotenuse. Write an equation and solve.
hypotenuse length = 2 · leg length
t = 2 · 2 Plug in
t = 22 Multiply
So, t = 22 units.
