<h3>Answers:</h3>
14. Each leg is units long.
15 (a). The longer leg is units long
15 (b). The hypotenuse is units long
=====================================================
Explanations:
For a 45 degree right triangle, aka 45-45-90 triangle, the hypotenuse is equal to sqrt(2) times the short leg. Algebraically we can say
where x is the leg and y is the hypotenuse
Let's solve for x
Now plug in the given hypotenuse y = 42, this leads to,
---------------------------
For a 30-60-90 triangle, the hypotenuse is double that of the short leg. So the hypotenuse is 2*7 = 14.
The longer leg is equal to sqrt(3) times the short leg. The longer leg is
