the picture in the attached figure

we know that

if ABC is an isosceles triangle

then

AB=BC

angle A=angle C=45 degrees

and

triangle ABD and triangle BDC also are isosceles triangles

AD=BD=x

DC=BD=x

the hypotenuse AC is equal to

AC=AD+DC\\ AC=x+x\\ AC=2x

To find the length AB applying the Pythagorean Theorem

AC^{2} =AB^{2} +BC^{2}

remember that AB=BC

AC^{2} =2AB^{2}

AC^{2} =2AB^{2}\\\\ AB=\frac{AC}{\sqrt{2}}\\\\ AB=\frac{2x}{\sqrt{2}}\\\\ AB=x\sqrt{2}

therefore

the answer is

the length of one leg of the large right triangle in terms of x is equal to x\sqrt{2}

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

a) We can just add Distance from Tulsa to Dallas and distance from Dallas to Houston,

258 + 239 = 497

b) It's the same distance = 497

c) We can tell its the same distance, because we are travelling in the same road, which would mean it would be no different when going to or coming back from Houston.

Help please because I'm really bad at math and I don't know how do do this
svetoff [14.1K]
Best way to convert measurements in the standard measurement system is to use the phrase "King Henry Died By Drinking Chocalote Milk"

K- Kilo
H- Hecto
D- Deca
B- Base (meter, liter, gram)
D- Deci
C- Centi
M- Milli

If you go up from the B, you move the decimal left, if you go down from the B, you move the decimal that many times to the right.

The picture will probably help explain better.

3) 10,640 g
5) idk which it needs to be converted to
7) 3,700 mg
