refection and translation i think
hdjdjsjsj I hope I got it right
I'm not sure if its a dilation if its getting smaller not bigger
Answer:
Both legs would be 20
Step-by-step explanation:
In the image below, it shows the relationship between the legs and the hypotenuse in every 45 45 90 triangle. If we know that the hypotenuse is 20, then the 2 legs are both 20.
I am slightly confused with the problem since they asked for the "short" leg and the "long" leg. Both legs should be the same length because a 45 45 90 triangle is isosceles, with the two legs being the same length.
Pythagoras Theorem is the way in which you can find the missing length of a right angled triangle.
The triangle has three sides, the hypotenuse (which is always the longest), Opposite (which doesn't touch the hypotenuse) and the adjacent (which is between the opposite and the hypotenuse).
Pythagoras is in the form of;
a<em><u /></em>²+b²=c²
However, it can also be written in the form of c²=a²+b²
In order to find the hypotenuse, you will have the length of two sides, for example, these could be 3 and 4.
As 'C' is always the hypotenuse, you have to work out the two other lengths, and you do this by squaring the numbers.
3²=9 and 4²=16.
As you're looking for C, you've got to add these together
9+16=25
As a²+b²=c², this means that the answer for C is the square root of 25.
√25= 5
Hope this has been able to help you :)
