isosceles right triangle

An isosceles right triangle is a type of triangle that has two sides of equal length and a right angle (90 degrees) between them. The equal sides are called legs, and the third side, opposite the right angle, is called the hypotenuse. Because two sides are equal and form a right angle, the angles opposite these sides are each 45 degrees. This triangle has special properties: the legs are the same length, and the hypotenuse is always the leg length multiplied by the square root of two. It’s commonly used in geometry, construction, and design for its symmetry and balance.
