The hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is 5 centimeters long. how long are its sides

The sides are approx 3.54 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that an isosceles triangle has 2 sides equal.

Given is that the hypotenuse is 5 cm, lets say the remaining two sides are same and they are x

So, as per Pythagoras formula, we get;

=>

Dividing both sides by 2:

=>

x = 3.54 approx

Hence, the sides are approx 3.54 cm.
