This is a basic triangle which you should be familiar with, the ratio of their sides to angles is always...

30°:1, 60°:√3, 90°:2

So if the shorter leg is 8 the hypotenuse is 16...

h/8=2/1

h=16 meters

The length of the hypotenuse would be 16. Since the hypotenuse is 2 times the length of the shorter leg, you simply multiply 8 by 2. (I apologise for my bad sketch of a triangle.)

The answer to the first one is ' D '.
(All the angles inside a triangle have to add up to exactly 180 degrees.)

The answer to the second one is ' C ' .
(If two sides are equal, then the sides opposite them are also equal.)

El valor de *x* en la operación de -4+2x=0?

Vesnalui [34]

Add 4 to both sides to isolate the variable (-4+4=0) (2x+0=2x) (0+4=4) which leaves you with 2x=4 divide both sides by 2 to get rid of the number in front of the variable to get x by itself (2x/2=x) (4/2=2) therefore you’re left with x=2 (lo siento yo no hablo español la respuesta es x=2)
