When dividing three real numbers the order can effect the answer.

Example:

8:4:2

1. 8:4:2=(8:4):2=2:2=1;

2. 8:4:2=8:(4:2)=8:2=4.

As you can see the results are different.

Answer: It is not true.

<span>Yes, the order does matter. Real numbers include rational numbers, and whole numbers or integers are rational numbers. When dividing whole numbers, the order does matter. </span>

How many centimeters long is a leg of an isosceles right triangle if its hypotenuse has a length of 8√2 centimeters?

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

The leg is 8 cm long

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles right triangle has the length of its hypotenuse and opposite equal

Let us call the length x

From Pythagoras’ , the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the squares of the two other sides

Thus, we have ;

x^2 + x^2 = (8 √2)^2

2x^2 = 128

x^2 = 128/2

x^2 = 64

x= √64

x = 8 cm
