Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use either angle, but I'm going to use the one on the bottom. So, in order to find x, we need to use tangent. One side we know is the adjacent, and the side we don't know is the opposite, therefore we need tangent. Here's the equation:
Obviously, we can't have a root in our denominator, so we need to get rid of it somehow. Here's how:
We multiply the denominator of the fraction by . multiplied by itself is simply 2. Try it! We also want to multiply the numerator by , but there isn't really a number we can use with that, so we'll just add it to the side. The equation you have now is:
Let's try to work this out now. Since the denominator is 2, we have to multiply both sides by it to find x.
We can plug 2 in for the x in the numerator now:
2 and 2 cancel out, so you get 1 in both the numerator and denominator. That's how we get our answer of 
Also, because this is a 45-45-90 triangle, you don't really have to do all that work. If it's a 45-45-90 triangle, both legs should be the same length. :)

Complete Question
Researchers recorded the speed of ants on trails in their natural environments. The ants studied, Leptogenys processionalis, all have the same body size in their adult phase, which made it easy to measure speeds in units of body lengths per second (bl/s). The researchers found that, when traffic is light and not congested, ant speeds vary roughly Normally, with mean 6.20 bl/s and standard deviation 1.58 bl/s. (a) What is the probability that an ant's speed in light traffic is faster than 5 bl/s? You may find Table B useful. (Enter your answer rounded to four decimal places.)
Answer:
0.7762
Step-by-step explanation:
We solve using z score formula
z = (x-μ)/σ, where
x is the raw score
μ is the population mean
σ is the population standard deviation.
Population mean = 6.20 bl/s
Standard deviation = 1.58 bl/s.
x = 5 bl/s
z = 5 - 6.20/1.58
z = -0.75949
The probability that an ant's speed in light traffic is faster than 5 bl/s is P( x > 5)
Probability value from Z-Table:
P(x<5) = 0.22378
P(x>5) = 1 - P(x<5)
= 1 - 22378
= 0.77622
Approximately to 4 decimal places = 0.7762
The probability that an ant's speed in light traffic is faster than 5 bl/s is 0.7762
Its simplest form is 8 5/18
Correct answer is A
Would appreciate brainliest answer :)
You are adding two each time
