  1. o o o Find hypotenuse length in a 45-45-90triangle a. a. By the Triangle Sum Theorem, the measure of the third angle must be 45º. Then the triangle is a 45º-45º-90º triangle, so by Theorem 7.8, the hypotenuse is 2 times as long as each leg. o o o hypotenuse = leg 2 45-45-90 Triangle Theorem 2 =8 EXAMPLE 1 Find the length of the hypotenuse. SOLUTION Substitute.

  2. o o o Find hypotenuse length in a 45-45-90triangle b. o o o hypotenuse = leg 2 45-45-90 Triangle Theorem By the Base Angles Theorem and the Corollary to the Triangle Sum Theorem, the triangle is a triangle. b. 2 2 = 3 = 32 o o o 45 - 45 - 90 EXAMPLE 1 Find the length of the hypotenuse. Substitute. Product of square roots = 6 Simplify.
