Answer: 15 units . __________________________________________________ In this case, a square, the two sides of the square (forming a right triangle) are equal), and the "diagonal" forming is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.
In these cases, the measurements of the angles of the right triangle are "45, 45, 90" ; and the measurements of the sides are: "a, a, a√2" ; in which "a√2" is the hypotenuse.
We are given: "15√2" is the hypotenuse" ; and we are given that this is a right triangle of a square with a diagonal length (i.e. "hypotenuse" of "15√2" ; so the measure of the side of the "square" (and other two sides of the triangle formed) is: 15 units. (i.e., 15, 15, 15√2 ). __________________________________________
Explaintion: There is a few ways to solve this but an app say way is to Multiply the 15 gallons by the denominator of the fraction then divide by 3 So 15x5=75 75/3=25 Therefore the chef can make 25 cakes
