Consider the incomplete paragraph proof. given: isosceles right triangle xyz (45°–45°–90° triangle) prove: in a 45°–45°–90° tria

ngle, the hypotenuse is times the length of each leg. because triangle xyz is a right triangle, the side lengths must satisfy the pythagorean theorem, a2 + b2 = c2, which in this isosceles triangle becomes a2 + a2 = c2. by combining like terms, 2a2 = c2. which final step will prove that the length of the hypotenuse, c, is times the length of each leg? substitute values for a and c into the original pythagorean theorem equation. divide both sides of the equation by two, then determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation. determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation. divide both sides of the equation by 2.

1. We have to prove that in a 45°–45°–90° isosceled triangle, the hypotenuse is times the length of each leg.

2. Since, triangle XYZ is a right triangle, the side lengths must satisfy the Pythagorean theorem, which states a^2+b^2=c^2

But, in isosceles triangle it becomes 

a^2+a^2=c^2

3. By combining like terms, we get

2a^2=c^2

4. Now, we will determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation.

\sqrt2 a = c

5. Dividing both sides of the equation by '2', we get

\frac{a}{\sqrt 2} = \frac{c}{2}

a = \frac{c}{\sqrt 2}

So, c = \sqrt{2}a

6. So the hypothenuse c is \sqrt 2  times the length of each leg 'a'.

1. prove: in a 45°–45°–90° triangle, the hypotenuse is \sqrt{2} <span>times the length of each leg.
2. </span>ecause triangle xyz is a right triangle, the side lengths must satisfy the pythagorean theorem,a^{2} + b^{2}= c^{2} , which in this isosceles triangle becomes a^{2} + a^{2}= c^{2}
3. By combining like terms: 2a^{2}= c^{2}
4. <span>Determine the principal square root of both sides of the equation:
</span>\sqrt{2a^{2}} =  \sqrt{c^{2}}
\sqrt{2} a=c
5. So the hypothenuse c is \sqrt{2} times the length of each leg a.

The plane is 2 dimensional because it has height and width, which is a total of 2 dimensions.

The third choice is your answer since it is the only choice that has the proper dimension along with the proper explanation.

Have an awesome day! :)

I don't get # 2 please help and fast

I wouldn't say that.  It looks to me like you've absolutely got it ... almost.

A).  Your fraction is correct.  But it's not in simplest form like they want it.
Reduce  18/45  to simplest form.  Hint:  Divide top and bottom by 9 .

B).  They want the percentage that's the same as  18/45 .
Do you remember how to change a fraction to percent ?
A fraction is just a short way to say "division".
" 18/45 " means " 18 divided by 45 ".
Do the division.  To change the quotient into percent, multiply it by 100 .
(Same as moving the decimal point 2 places to the right.)
Round it the nearest whole number, if it isn't already a whole number.

C).  Again, your fraction is correct, but it isn't in simplest form.
Reduce  27/45  to simplest form.   Hint: Divide top and bottom by 9 again.

D).  Change this fraction to percent, just like you did for the female fraction.
(Do the division that the fraction says, and multiply the quotient by 100.) 
(Round to the nearest whole number percent if it isn't already.)

You already did the technical stuff.  I just added some mechanical things.

In the diagram, which angles are vertical angles? Check all that apply.
enyata [817]

If two line crosses, then the vertical angles are the angles opposite each other. In this way, these angles share the same vertex. So, the vertical angles are always equal. Therefore, in this problem, the right answers are:


1. ABE and CBD

Notice that the vertex is B, so these two angles share the same vertex. Accordingly, these two angles are vertical angles.


2. ABC and EBD


The same reasoning is applied here. The vertex is also B. Notice that <em>the angles CBD and ABD add up to 180 degrees. </em>
