where both legs are equal in length
Area

A = ½ × a²

where a is the length of either leg
Perimeter

P = 2a + a√2

where a is the length of either leg
Height

h = a/√2

where a is the length of either leg
Note: In a 45-45-90 triangle, both legs are equal in length, and the hypotenuse is √2 times the length of either leg.
