The hypotenuse of a 90-45-45 triangle is 20√2. What is the short leg and the long leg>
1 answer:
Answer:
Both legs would be 20
Step-by-step explanation:
In the image below, it shows the relationship between the legs and the hypotenuse in every 45 45 90 triangle. If we know that the hypotenuse is 20, then the 2 legs are both 20.
I am slightly confused with the problem since they asked for the "short" leg and the "long" leg. Both legs should be the same length because a 45 45 90 triangle is isosceles, with the two legs being the same length.

Answer:
y=x-2
Step-by-step explanation:
Slope intercept form is a way to describe a function using its slope and y-intercept and is written as y=mx+b.
m=slope
b=y-intercept
Looking at the graph we can see it goes through x=0 at y=-2 making -2 the y-intercept.
Then we must solve for slope, slope is rise/run. From the point (0,-2) the function travels to (7,0).
This gives us a rise (change in x) of 2 and a run (change in y) of 7 and 2/7 as our slope.
