How to find the legs of a special right triangle when given the hypotenuse

The video tutorial explains the properties of special right triangles, focusing on the relationship between the legs and the hypotenuse. It describes how to calculate the hypotenuse by multiplying the leg by the square root of 2 and how to find the legs if the hypotenuse is given by dividing by the square root of 2.

What is the relationship between the two legs of a special right triangle?

• One leg is twice the other

• Both legs are equal

• One leg is half the other

• The legs are unrelated

To find the hypotenuse of a special right triangle, you multiply a leg by which value?

• 2

• 3

• sqrt 2

• sqrt 3

If the hypotenuse of a special right triangle is given, how do you find the length of a leg?

• Multiply by sqrt 2

• Divide by sqrt 2

• Multiply by 2

• Divide by 2

What is the approximate value of sqrt 2?

• 2.00

• 1.73

• 1.41

• 1.00

If the hypotenuse is 30, what is the length of each leg in a special right triangle?

• 15

• 30 / sqrt 2

• 30 * sqrt 2

• 30
