1. The hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is 14. How long is each leg of the triangle?    

     leg  =  14 / sqrt(2)  = (14) • sqrt(2) / 2  =  7 • sqrt(2)     = approx 9.899    

2. The hypotenuse of an isosceles right triangle is 14. What is the area of the triangle?    

     Area  =  (1 / 2) • base • height  =  (1 / 2) • (7 • sqrt(2)) • (7 • sqrt(2))  =  49 • 2  =  98
