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

Which equations are true for x = –2 and x = 2? Select two options
fomenos

Answer:

Number 1 and Number 4

Step-by-step explanation:

By factoring, you can figure out the roots (x = -2 or x = 2)...

1. x^2 - 4 = 0

--> (x + 2)(x - 2) = 0

--> x = -2, x = 2

2. x^2 + 4 = 0

--> factors weirdly, so I won't write it. You'd have to use the quadratic formula.

3. 3x^2 + 12 = 0

--> 3 (x^2 + 4) = 0

--> factors weirdly (same as above)

4. 4x^2 - 16 = 0

--> 4 (x^2 - 4) = 0

--> 4 (x+2) (x-2) = 0

--> x = -2, x = 2

5. 2 (x-2) 2 = 0

--> x = 2
