M + w = 48
m = 15w

15w + w = 48
16w = 48
w = 48/16
w = 3

m = 15w
m = 15(3)
m = 45 <==== there r 45 men

Approximately how long is a leg of an isosceles right triangle that has a hypotenuse of length 11.31

Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

Leg of an isosceles right triangle is 7.99 long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of the hypotenuse =11.31

To find:

Length of the leg of an isosceles right triangle =?

Solution:

According to Pythagorean's Theorem, we have

$a^2 +b^2 = c^2$ -----------------------------(1)

Here were are given as isosceles triangle, so the two sides will be of same length

So equation 1 can be rewritten as

$a^2 +a^2 = c^2$

$2a^2 = c^2$

Substituting the value of hypotenuse

$2a^2 = (11.31)^2$

$2a^2 = 127.91$

$a^2 = \frac{127.91}{2}$

$a^2 =63.955$

$a = \sqrt{63.955}$

a = 7.99
