Missing lengths of a 45°-45°-90° Special Right Triangle given Hypotenuse length = 26

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

Leg lengths =
26/√2

Rationalize to remove the radical from the denominator:
Leg lengths =
26 * √2/√2 * √2

Leg lengths =
26√2/2

Leg lengths = 13√2 = 18.38477631085
