The correct question is
The hypotenuse and one of the legs of a right triangle form an angle that has a cosine of √<span>2/2 . 
What is the measure of the angle? 

Let
</span>∅--------> the angle
cos ∅=√2/2<span>
cos </span>∅=[distance of one of the leg/hypotenuse]
[distance of one of the leg/hypotenuse]=√2/2

<span>I could say that
</span>distance of one of the leg=√2
and 
hypotenuse=2
so
<span>applying the Pythagorean theorem
</span>c=hypotenuse=2
a=√2
b=?
c²=a²+b²-------> b²=c²-a²------> b²=2²-(√2)²-----> b²=2-----> b=√2

therefore
if a=b
then 
the angle ∅=45°

the answer is the option
<span>b.45 degrees</span>

Answer: OPTION A.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can observe that in the figure CDEF the vertices are:

C(-2,-1),\ D(-2,0),\ E(2,2)\ and\ F(2,1)

And in the figure C'D'E'F'  the vertices are:

C'(-8,-4),\ D'(-8,0),\ E'(8,8)\ and\ F'(8,4)

For this case, you can divide any coordinate of any vertex of the figure C'D'E'F' by any coordinate of any vertex of the figure CDEF:

For C'(-8,-4) and C(-2,-1):

\frac{-8}{-2}=4\\\\\frac{-4}{-1}=4

Let's choose another vertex. For E'(8,8) and E(2,2):

\frac{8}{2}=4\\\\\frac{8}{2}=4

You can observe that the coordinates of C' are obtained by multiplying each coordinate of C by 4 and the the coordinates of E' are also obtained by multiplying each coordinate of E by 4.

Therefore, the rule that yields the dilation of the figure CDEF centered at the origin is:

(x, y)→(4x, 4y)

Answer:

This might not help but I know 10 to the power of 3 is 1000 and the answer might be 10×10×10. 10×10×10 is equal to 1000 and is the same as 10 to the power of 3.
