Answer:

c=b\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the attached image.

A right triangle is considered so when one of its corners are 90°.

If sides a and b are equal in length, then  the corners across from them are equal in size as well.

The only way for this to be possible is if both corners A and B(opposite of sides a and b) are 45°.

Pythagorean theorem

This theorem states that the square of a right triangle's long side is equal to the sum of the squares of the shorter sides.

In this case:

a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}

but since:

a=b

the equation can be solved by replacing a with b in the equation:

b^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2} \\2b^{2}=c^{2} \\\sqrt{2b^{2} } = c\\b\sqrt{2} =c

bright pools is building a rectangular pool at a new house. The perimeter of the pool has to be 94 feet and the length has to be
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

\displaystyle 15\:feet\:wide \\ 32\:feet\:long

Step-by-step explanation:

{2 + 2w = l

{94 = 2w + 2l

94 = 2w + 2[2 + 2w]

94 = 2w + 4 + 4w

94 = 4 + 6w

- 4 - 4

_________

\displaystyle \frac{90}{6} = \frac{6w}{6}

\displaystyle 15 = w[Plug this back into both equations above to get the length of 32 feet]; \displaystyle 32 = l

Jessica made 4 identical necklaces, each having beads and a pendant. The total cost of the beads and pendants for all 4 necklace
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

If the total cost of the 4 necklaces was 18.40 then that means in order to find out how much she spent on pendents she needs to subtract the amount of beads from from the total cost so,

18.40-11.20=7.20

And cause she made 4 necklaces she is going to need to divide 7.20 by 4 to find out the cost of money that she had spent on each necklaces pendants.

7.20÷4=1.80

Meaning that she had spent $1.80 on each necklaces pendants
