The word hypotenuse implies this is a right triangle. An isosceles right triangle has sides of 1, 1, and sqrt(2), or multiples of those. So the hypotenuse = 5*sqrt(2), which is approximately 7.07 feet or about 7 ft and 7/8 inch.

How does an isosceles triangle that is also a right triangle look like?

That's called a 45° right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse is equal to the length of each of the other two sides times the square root of two.

Can you draw a right and isosceles triangle?

You may be asking whether it's possible to have an isosceles triangle that's also a right triangle. If that's your question, then the answer is yes. The 'legs' of the right triangle are equal, each acute angle is 45 degrees, and the length of the hypotenuse is (length of each leg) x sqrt(2). If that's not what you're asking, then your question is incomprehensible.

Which triangle has two equal sides anad a 90 degree angle?

An isosceles right triangle. Each of the acute angles is 45 degrees. The legs are equal, and each leg is sqrt(2) times half of the length of the hypotenuse.
