works for unequal legs as well.

C^2=(.96)^2+(.96)^2-2(.96)(.96)(-.25038)
The formula for finding the missing leg of a triangle with two equal legs is c = a * √2, where c is the missing leg and a is the length of the known legs.
The angle measurements of a triangle can be determined using the Pythagorean theorem, trigonometric functions, or the law of sines and cosines.
Yes, you can use the Pythagorean theorem, trigonometric functions, or the law of sines and cosines to solve a 104.5 degree triangle with 2 equal legs.
104.5 degree triangles with 2 equal legs are often seen in architecture, engineering, and construction. They are also used in navigation and surveying.
Yes, a triangle can have more than one solution depending on the given information and the methods used to solve it. It is important to check for extraneous solutions when using trigonometric functions.
