The largest angle
in a right triangle is always the right angle. This makes sense
if we remember that the sum of the other two angles is 180°
- 90° = 90°. This is an isosceles triangle, the other two
angles must be equal, and each must be 45°.
Since sides are
proportional to the angles that are opposite them, then the two
legs of the triangle must be of equal length. We know that one leg
is 4, so the other leg must also be 4.
Plug these numbers
into the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse:
Then add the sides
to find the perimeter:
4 + 4 + 4√2 = 8 + 4√2
