Answer:

The lenghts of both legs: \frac{15\sqrt{2}}{2}\ inches

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition, when a triangle has angles that measures 45°, 45° and 90°, its legs are congruent.

Then, knowing the lenght of the hypotenuse, we can find the lenght (in inches) of  any leg of the given triangle by applying the Trigonometric Identity sin\alpha=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}:

sin(45\°)=\frac{leg}{15}\\\\leg=\frac{15}{\sqrt{2}}

Finally, simplifying, we get:

leg=\frac{15(\sqrt{2})}{(\sqrt{2})(\sqrt{2})}=\frac{15\sqrt{2}}{2}

What is the midpoint of the segment with two endpoints (4,-6) and (-2,-3)? Put your answers in decimal from, if applicable.
Ber [7]
Answer: 1,-4.5

Explanation: you can find this by finding the difference in y and the difference in x. The difference in x is -6, and the difference in y is +3. All you have to do after that is divide that by 2: -3,1.5, than add that to the first coordinate. That should be the midpoint.
