Formula

hypotenuse = leg x sqrt(2)

A 45-45-90 triangle has equal legs, so the hypotenuse scales by square root of 2.

The area is one-half of leg squared.

Example

6 units gives Hypotenuse 8. 4853, Area 18.

Check

Mixing units, scales, or coordinate conventions across leg before calculating hypotenuse and area.
Rounding too early when the result still feeds another geometry or algebra step.
