Question

HELPP QUICKLYY!! What is the length of each leg of the triangle below?

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.   16√2

Step-by-step explanation:

Points to remember

If the angles of a right angled triangle are 45°, 45° and 90° then the sides of the triangles are in the ratio 1 : 1: √2

To find the length of each leg of triangle

From the figure we can see that a right angled triangle with angles 45°, 45°, 90° and hypotenuse = 32

Therefore the sides are in the ratio 1 : 1 :√2

Leg1 : Leg2 : hypotenuse = 1 : 1 : √2 = x : x : 32

Therefore x = 32/√2 = 16√2

So the correct answer is option C.   16√2
