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>

What’s the answer to the question down below

Any linear equation can be written as

y = mx+b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

m = 1/2 in this case. It represents the idea that the snow fell at a rate of 1/2 inch per hour. In other words, the snow level went up 1/2 an inch each time an hour passed by.

b = 8 is the y intercept. It's the starting amount of snow. We start off with 8 inches of snow already.

The info "snow fell for 9 hours" doesn't appear to be relevant here.

27% of what number is 162?
Leno4ka [110]
Take it like this
27% of x = 162
27/100 * x = 162
x = 162*100/27
x=600

Therefore, 27% of 600 is 162

Using the following figure, match the angles in the first column with their corresponding congruent angles in the second column.
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

∠6 = ∠8

∠2 = ∠6

Step-by-step explanation:

Lines 'p' and 'q' are the parallel lines and line 'l' is a transversal line intersecting these lines at two distinct points.

By the property of alternate interior angles,

∠3 = ∠5

By the property of vertically opposite angles,

∠6 = ∠8

By the property of corresponding angles,

∠2 = ∠6
