One leg of a right triangle is twice as long as the other. write the length of the hypotenuse

1 answer:

7 0

Let one of the legs be called x.

The second leg= 2x

You know that; c²=a²+b²

c²=(2x)²+(x)²
c²=4x²+x²
c²=5x²
c=√5x²

Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse should be √5x².

Hope I helped :)

Which of the following expressions does not equal: the sixth root of 81x^4y^8

DerKrebs [107]

$\sqrt[6]{81x^4y^8}=\left[3^4x^4(y^2)^4\right]^\frac{1}{6}=\left[\left(3xy^2\right)^4\right]^\frac{1}{6}\\\\=\left(3xy^2\right)^{4\cdot\frac{1}{6}}=\left(3xy^2\right)^\frac{2}{3}\to A\\\\=\left(3xy^2\right)^\frac{2}{3}=\sqrt[3]{\left(3xy^2\right)^2}=\sqrt[3]{9x^2y^4}\to D\\\\=\left(3xy^2\right)^\frac{2}{3}=\left(3x\right)^\frac{2}{3}y^{2\cdot\frac{2}{3}}=\left(3x\right)^\frac{2}{3}y^\frac{4}{3}\to B\\\\\\Answer:C$
