The length of the hypotenuse = 7.1 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

In an isosceles right angle triangle if one leg is 5 inch, another side along the right angle is 5 in

hypotenuse = [tex]\sqrt{side^{2} +base^{2} }[/tex] ( by Pythagoras theorem)

= [tex]\sqrt{5^{2}+5^{2} }[/tex]

= [tex]\sqrt{50}[/tex]

= 7.07106781

= 7.1 inch (approx)
