In a 45 45 90 right triangle the length of the hypotenuse is 15/2 what is length on one of the legs
1 answer:
Hi there!
For any 45 45 90 right triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is always the square root of 2 times one of the legs.
To get the lengths of the leg, let's divide the length of the hypotenuse by the square root of 2.
We get the following:
When simplifying fractions like this, we want to avoid having radicals on the bottom. In order to remove the radical from the denominator, let's multiply the numerator and the denominator by the square root of 2.
We get the following:
That's your answer.
Have an awesome day! :)

Answer:
- g(x) = 2|x|
- g(x) = -2|x|
- g(x) = -2|x| -3
- g(x) = -2|x-1| -3
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Vertical stretch is accomplished by multiplying the function value by the stretch factor. When |x| is stretched by a factor of 2, the stretched function is ...
g(x) = 2|x|
__
2) Reflection over the x-axis means each y-value is replaced by its opposite. This is accomplished by multiplying the function value by -1.
g(x) = -2|x|
__
3) As you know from when you plot a point on a graph, shifting it down 3 units subtracts 3 from the y-value.
g(x) = -2|x| -3
__
4) A right-shift by k units means the argument of the function is replaced by x-k. We want a right shift of 1 unit, so ...
g(x) = -2|x -1| -3
