Solution

The question seems to be incorrectly formatted, but I'll assume you're asking about an isosceles right triangle (also known as a 45-45-90 triangle) with a perimeter of 94 inches.

In an isosceles right triangle, the two legs are of equal length and the hypotenuse is √2 times the length of one leg.

Let's denote the length of one leg as 'a'. So, the length of the hypotenuse is 'a√2'.

The perimeter of the triangle is the sum of the lengths of all its sides. So, we can set up the following equation:

a + a + a√2 = 94

Solving this equation will give us the length of one leg.

First, combine like terms:

2a + a√2 = 94

Next, we want to isolate 'a'. To do this, we can factor out 'a' from the left side of the equation:

a(2 + √2) = 94

Then, divide both sides of the equation by (2 + √2) to solve for 'a':

a = 94 / (2 + √2)

This gives us the length of one leg of the triangle.
