Answer: 12\sqrt{2}\ in

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition a 45°, 45° and 90° is known as "Isosceles right triangle". This is an special type of triangle that has two  congruent legs (which means that it has two legs that have equal length).

Then, for this case you need to use the following formula:

L=\frac{1}{2}H\sqrt{2}

Where "L" is the length of any leg and "H" is the hypotenuse of the triangles.

In this case you know that:

H=24\ in

Then, knowing the value of "H", you can substitute it into the formula and then you must evaluate in order to find the value of "L".

Therefore, you get the following result:

L=\frac{1}{2}(24\ in)\sqrt{2}\\\\L=12\sqrt{2}\ in

Answer:

x = 9

z = 117

Step-by-step explanation:

Z is across from 117 so they are equal.

Solve. 3x2 + 4x = –5 <br> using quadratic equation ...?
cupoosta [38]
3x^2 + 4x - 5 = 0 
x = [-b ±√(b^2 - 4ac)]/2a 

a = 3 
b = 4 
c = -5 

x = [-4 ±√(16 + 60)]/6 
x = [-4 ±√76]/6 
x = [-4 ±√(2^2 * 19)]/6 
x = [-4 ±2√19]/6 
x = [-2 ±√19]/3 

x = [-2 + √19]/3 
x = [-2 + 4.35]/3 
x = 2.35/3 
x = 0.78 (rounded to the nearest hundredth) 

x = [-2 - ±√19]/3 
x = [-2 - 4.35]/3 
x = -6.35/3 
x = -2.12 (rounded to the nearest hundredth) 

<span>∴ x = -2.12 , 0.78 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)</span>

PLZ HELP ANY1!!!!!!!!!!!
Ronch [10]
Its the last one because you plug in the 20(x) for example y=20x 
and your table looks like this 
x 0/2/4
y 0/40/80  y  x
because 20(2)=40 then you would do the same with the rest of the equation
20(4)= 80 there fore the last on is your answer

Answer: #1 is the answer. Alternate exterior angles are the pair of angles that lie on the outer side of the two parallel lines but on either side of the transversal line. Notice how the pairs of alternating exterior angles lie on opposite sides of the transversal but outside the two parallel lines.

Step-by-step explanation: Parallel Lines: Definition: We say that two lines (on the same plane) are parallel to each other if they never intersect each other, ragardless of how far they are extended on either side. Pictorially, parallel lines run along each other like the tracks of a train.
