Ok so
If you are given the hypotenuse (pretend its 4), and you know that it is an isoceles right triangle, you know that the triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle (because you know that the angles = each other since the opposite sides are equal to each other). Since it is a 45-45-90 triangle, the legs will = A, and the hyp would equal to A root 2. you would put the hyp as 4 root 2. To find a you would divide the hyp by root 2. If you do that you can find that A is 4.
Hope this helps!

5. A monument casts a 78 ft. shadow at the same time that a vertical yardstick casts a 4.5 ft. shadow. How high is the monument?
rodikova [14]

Hello,

Using Thalès 's theorem:

Let's h the height of the monument.

\dfrac{1}{h} =\dfrac{4.5}{78} \\\\h=\dfrac{78}{4.5} =\dfrac{156}{9} \approx{17.3\ (ft)}

If you don't know what is the Thalès's theorem,

imagine that the similar triangles.

Answer:

C. The meeting will be in Los Angeles California on July, 17.

Step-by-step explanation:

This doesn't use commas correctly because there should be a comma after Los Angeles because it is a location. Also, there should not be a comma after 17 because the comma goes after the date when the year is included, which it is not.
