Respuesta :

if the degrees in this triangle are truly 90-45-45, then the two unknown lengths are the same

and the pythagorean theorem holds anyways: a² + b² = c², where c is the longest side in a right triangle.

c is 16, so 16² is 256

2* a² = 256

I wrote 2 times s because a and b are of same length

devide each side by 2

a² = 128

take the root

a and b are:
