the hypotenuse of a 45-45-90 triangle has a length of 10 units. what is the length of one of its legs?

1 answer:

6 0

When a triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle, the following rules apply:

-the 2 legs are equal lengths
- the length of the hypotenuse is: the square root of 2 x the length of a leg.
- the length of the leg is: hypotenuse divided by the square root of 2.

if the hypotenuse is 10, then 10 divided by the square root of 2 is how you find the leg.
the square root of 2 is <span>1.41421356237.
10 divided by </span>1.41421356237 is <span>7.07106781188, which can be rounded to about 7.1. The length of one leg is about 7.1 units!</span>

Answer:

$- \frac{11}{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{ \frac{5}{8} + \frac{3}{4} }{ \frac{ - 2}{3} - \frac{5}{6} } = \frac{ \frac{5}{8} + \frac{6}{8} }{ \frac{ - 4}{6} - \frac{5}{6} } \\ \\ = \frac{ \frac{5 + 6}{8} }{ \frac{ - 4 - 5}{6} } \\ \\ = \frac{ \frac{11}{8} }{ - \frac{9}{6} } \\ \\ = \frac{11}{8} \div ( - \frac{9}{6} ) \\ \\ = \frac{11}{8} \times ( - \frac{6}{9} ) \\ \\ = \frac{11}{8} \times ( - \frac{2}{3} ) \\ \\ = \frac{11}{4} \times ( - \frac{1}{3} ) \\ \\ = - \frac{11}{12}$
