What is the length of leg s of the triangle below?
a. 1.7
b. 3
c. 1.5
d. √18
c. 9
d. √3

B because in a 45-45-90 triangle, the leg lengths are the same (isosceles).

Length of leg s is 3 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 45-45-90 triangle, in which length of hypotenuse is and one leg is 3 units.

we have to find the length of other leg i.e leg s

As two angles of triangle are equal implies given triangle is isosceles.

As the two sides of isosceles triangle are equal.

Hence, the length of leg s must be equal to the length of other leg which is given 3 units.

Hence, length of leg s is 3 units.

In this given problem, we are going to find for an exponent that will represent the number 16.

First, what is an exponent? An exponent shows how many times we are going to multiply the base number.
Let’s have an example with the given number which is 16.
First we need to define a base number and an exponent.

Base number = 2
exponent = 4
=> 24 (this means that we need to multiply 2 four times)
=>  2 x 2 x 2 x 2
=> 16

Thus, the exponent number of 16 is 24
