If the hypotenuse of right angled isosceles triangle is 2, what is the length of each of the other sides?
A
\(\sqrt{2}\)
B
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
C
22
D
1
E
2 - 1
Verified Correct Answer: A.
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
45o = \(\frac{x}{2}\), Since 45o = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
x = 2 x \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\)
= \(\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{2}\)
= \(\sqrt{2}\)
