The length of the hypotenuse = 7.1 inch
Step-by-step explanation:
In an isosceles right angle triangle if one leg is 5 inch, another side along the right angle is 5 in
hypotenuse = [tex]\sqrt{side^{2} +base^{2} }[/tex] ( by Pythagoras theorem)
= [tex]\sqrt{5^{2}+5^{2} }[/tex]
= [tex]\sqrt{50}[/tex]
= 7.07106781
= 7.1 inch (approx)
