What is the length of s

You can either solve this with the Pythagorean theorem or the special triangles rule which can be applied to (degrees —>) 45/45/90 or 30/60/90 triangles.
With the Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2 is used with the numbers accordingly- 5 and S are legs and can be either a or b while √50 being the hypotenuse can only be c
(5)^2 + (s)^2 =(√50)^2
25 + (s)^2 = 50
√ ((s)^2) = √ (50 - 25)
s = 5
The special Triangles rule actually states that a shortcut can be applied to the corresponding sides (look at picture). S is directly across from a 45 degree angle (and so is 5!)
If a = 5, than s must also = 5.

5
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use Tan(45)=S/5 to solve for S. Tan basically means Opposite/Adjacent. So the opposite side is S and the adjacent side is S. You plug tan(45) into your calc and then multiply it by 5.
Proportion Below
Tan(45)/1 = S/5
You cross multiply to get Tan(45)*5=S
S would be 5
To check you can use the Pythagorean theorem a^2+b^2=c^2
5^2+5^2=
25+25=50

Answer: 10
Step-by-step explanation:
It appears that , so to check if this is the case, we can use the slope formula.
Since these slopes are negative reciprocals, we can see that this is the case. So, we can take as the base of the triangle and
as the height of the triangle, and then use the formula
.
Using the distance formula,
So, the area is
