Answer:  The correct choice is 10√2 units.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to select the correct choice that gives the length of the leg of a 45-45-90 triangle with a hypotenuse of 20.

Since the given triangle is an isosceles right-angled triangle, so let x units be the length of each of the legs.

Using the Pythagoras theorem, we get

x^2+x^2=20^2\\\\\Rightarrow 2x^2=400\\\\\Rightarrow x^2=\dfrac{400}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow x^2=200\\\\\Rightarrow x=\pm\sqrt{2\times100}\\\\\Rightarrow x=\pm10\sqrt2.

Since x is the length of the leg of the given triangle, so we get

x = 10√2 units.

Thus, the correct choice is 10√2 units.

How in the heck do I do this?​
Fudgin [204]

The measure of a triangle is 180 degrees. In other words the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees

To solve for x set all of the expressions of angles equal to 180 and isolate x

11x - 3 + 7x + 5 + 13x - 8 = 180

31x + (- 6 + 6) = 180 + 6

31x/31  = 186 / 31

x = 6

To find the measure of each angle plug 6 into the x into each individual expression

Hope this helped!
