In a 45 - 45 - 90 triangle the two smaller sides are =. So when you use
a^2 + b^2 = c^2, you need a and b both to find the area.
So call both of them = b^2.
Equation and solution
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
b^2 + b^2 = c^2
2b^2 = c^2
c = 24
b = ???
2 b^2 = 24^2
2 b^2 = 576 Divide by 2
b^2 = 288 I'm going to leave this as it is for the moment. You'll see what in a second.
Area of a triangle
Area of a triangle = 1/2 h * b
But the height and base are the 2 smaller equal sides of a 45_45_90 triangle
so h = b
base = b
Area of a triangle = 1/2 b^2 The equalities above tell you that. h and b of the triangle are equal.
Area = 1/2 288 feet^2
Area = 144 feet^2
x⁴ + x = 0
x(x³) + x(1) = 0
x(x³ + 1) = 0
x = 0 or x³ + 1 = 0
- 1 - 1
x³ = -1
x = -1
The answer is 2.7
I’m not an expert at this but i did some research so I hope I can help
It’s 2.7 because the formula for calculating density is to divide the mass by the volume and in you do that for each of them you get 2.7 every time
About 2.2222
rounded answer: 2.23
