Alright, let's answer this -

Half of 48 is 24...

Half of 24 is 12...

12 three times is 36...

36 + 12 is equal to 48. =)

H = Harvey
j = Jane

Harvey is 3 times as old as Jane = 3 times j

<span>The sum of their ages is 48 years.

sum = addition

The keyword is means use a equal sign so..

h + j = 48

h = 3 times j

3j + j = 48
4j = 48
4j / 4 = 48 /4
j = 12

j = 12

Now lets find for Harvey. Harvey = 3 times j

Harvey = 3j = 3 times 12 = 36

Jane = 12
Harvey = 36

The hypotenuse of a 45°-45°-90° triangle measures 128 cm. A right triangle is shown. The length of the hypotenuse is 128 centime

Aleks [24]

Answer:

64√2 or 64 StartRoot 2 EndRoot

Step-by-step explanation:

A 45-45-90 traingle is a special traingle. Let's say one of the leg of the triangle is x. The other one is also x because of the isosocles triangle theorem. Therefore, using the pytagorean theorem, you find that x^2+x^2=c^2. 2(x)^2=c^2. You then square root both sides and get c= x√2.

Therefore, the two legs are x and the hypotenuse is x√2. x√2=128 because the question says that the hypotenuse is 128. Solve for x by dividing both sides by √2. X=128/√2. You rationalize it by multiplying the numberator and denominator of the fraction by √2. √2*√2= 2.

X=(128√2)/2= 64√2 cm.

Since X is the leg, the answer would be 64√2
