Missing lengths of a 45°-45°-90° Special Right Triangle given Hypotenuse length = 12

Leg lengths of a 45°-45°-90° Special Right Triangle are equal
Leg lengths =
Hypotenuse length/√2

Leg lengths =
12/√2

Rationalize to remove the radical from the denominator:
Leg lengths =
12 * √2/√2 * √2

Leg lengths =
12√2/2

Leg lengths = 6√2 = 8.485281374239
