答案A

解析 In an isosceles right triangle, both legs have the same length. The area of an isosceles right triangle with legs of length x is equal to. The area of a square with sides of length s is s2. Since you are given that an isosceles right triangle and a square have the same area R, it follows that, and so x =s.
Sinceis greater than 1, the length of a leg of the triangle is greater than the length of a side of the square. The correct answer is Choice A.
This explanation uses the following strategies.
Strategy 1: Translate from Words to an Arithmetic or Algebraic Representation
Strategy 5: Simplify an Arithmetic or Algebraic Representation
Strategy 8: Search for a Mathematical Relationship
