Isosceleses means 2 sides have equal legnths
that means that those are the legs
a^2+b^2=c^2
a and b are legs and c is the hypotonuse

a=b
2a^2=c^2
c=32
2a^2=32^2
2a^2=1024
divide both sides by 2
a^2=512
sqrt both sides
a=16√2

the legnth of each leg is 16√2 or aprox 22.63 inches

Answer:

125 traffic cones

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the total number of meters, we can set up a proportion to find based on the ration of cm to m:

$\frac{centimeters}{meters}=\frac{1}{50}=\frac{25}{x}$ , where 'x' is the number of meters

cross-multiply: x = 25(50) or x = 1250 m

Since there is a cone every 10 m, we can divide the total number of meters by 10:

1250/10 = 125 cones
