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.

2. Draw the image of ∆RST under the dilation with scale factor ⅓ and center of dilation at the origin. Label the image ∆R’S’T’.

Alchen [17]

Since center of dilation is the origin, this is easy. Just divide all of the x and y coordinate values by 3. Place the new point on the graph, and draw the triangle.

R' = R(3,6)/3 = (3/3,6/3)=(1,2). So R'(1,2)
S' = S(-3,6)/3 = (-3/3,6/3)=(-1,2). So S'(-1,2)
T' = T(-6,-6)/3 = (-6/3,-6/3)=(-2,-2). So T'(-2,-2)

So you now know the location of the 3 new points. R' at (1,2), S' at (-1,2) and T' at (-2,-2). Simply draw those 3 points on your graph and connect the lines to make a new triangle.
