Missing lengths of a 45°-45°-90° Special Right Triangle given Hypotenuse length = 7.25

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

Leg lengths =
7.25/√2

Rationalize to remove the radical from the denominator:
Leg lengths =
7.25 * √2/√2 * √2

Leg lengths =
7.25√2/2
= 3.625√2 = 5.126524163602
