Answer:

Therefore the length of the hypotenuse is 14.14 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The Triangle is of 45 -45 - 90

Length of one leg = 10 inches

To Find:

Length of the hypotenuse = ?

Solution:

The Triangle is of 45 -45 - 90 ..................Given

So For 45 - 45 - 90 Both the Legs of Triangle is SAME

i.e Longer leg = Shorter leg = 10 inches

Now in Right angle Triangle By Pythagoras Theorem we have

(\textrm{Hypotenuse})^{2} = (\textrm{Shorter leg})^{2}+(\textrm{Longer leg})^{2}

On substituting the values we get

Hypotenuse^{2}= 10^{2}+ 10^{2} \\\\Hypotenuse^{2}=200\\Square\ Rooting\ we\ get\\Hypotenuse=\sqrt{200}=10\sqrt{2}=10\times 1.414=14.14\ inches

Therefore the length of the hypotenuse is 14.14 inches.

Greeley [361]

Answer:

\$1,920

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

A=P(1+rt)

where

A is the Final Investment Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest  

t is Number of Time Periods

in this problem we have

t=5*12=60\ months\\ P=\$1,200\\r=0.01

substitute in the formula above

A=\$1,200(1+0.01*60)

A=\$1,200(1.6)=\$1,920
