Right Triangle ABC:
Angle B = 90, BC = 4, AB = AC
10)
AB = 4√2
11)
AC = 4√2
Right Triangle ABC:
Angle B = 90, BC = 16, AB = AC
12)
AB = 8√2
13)
BC = 8√2

The Triangle ABC is a right - triangle and is also an Isosceles Triangle, because AB = BC ( Hatched lines)
Then using Pythagoras
AC^2= AB^2 + 4^2
Since AB = BC
Then we can say
AC^2 = 4^2 + 4^2
AC^2 = 16 + 16
AC^2 = 32
AC = sqrt(32) = 4sqrt(2) ( Simplified Radical form ).
From above AB = 4
Similarly
16^2 = AB^2 + BC^2
16^2 = 2AB^2
16 = ABsqrt(2)
AB = 16sqrt(2) / 2 = 8sqrt(2)
Since AB = BC , then BC = 8sqrt(2)
