Because otherwise the two circles you build wouldn't have any intersection!

You have to draw two circles, centered at the endpoints of the segment, and connect their intersection.

If the radii are less than half the length of the circle, the circles will have no interserction.

In a 45° - 45° - 90° right triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is 15 . What is the length on one of the legs?
STALIN [3.7K]
Since 45 = 45
then the two other sides are equal
(15)^2 = (side)^2 + (side)^2
225 = 2 (side)^2 divide 2 to both sides
112.5 = (side)^2 square root
side = 10.6

Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Direction is missing

Step-by-step explanation:

Veronica’s velocity was measured as 4.3 m/s. She displaced 20 meters in 4.7 seconds. We know that velocity is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude as well as direction. Velocity is defined as the total distance per unit time I.e.  

                 i.e. the magnitude of velocity is 4.3 m/s  

Here, only velocity is given but its direction is missing. So, the missing information is " the direction ".
