Answer:

12√2

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem here:

(12 cm)^2 + (12 cm)^2 = 288 cm^2.  

The length of the hypotenuse is √288 = (√4)(√72) = 2(√36)(√2) = 12√2

Given that both legs of a 45, 45, and 90 degree triangle are 12cm, find out the length of the hypotenuse.

To solve for the hypotenuse, we will use the Pythagorean Theorem.

The formula to find the hypotenuse is:

a^2 + b^2 = c ^2

We already know that both legs are 12cm, so we can plug them in.

12^2 + 12^2 = c^2

Solve.

144 + 144 = c^2

Add.

288 = c^2

Find the square root of 288.

sqrt(288) = 16.97

Therefore, the square root of 288 is 16.97

If we round 16.97 to 17 and then square it, that would equal 289.

So, the best choice is to leave it as 16.97.

Thus, the length of the hypotenuse is 16.97 or 17 if you want to round it.

Help me solve the problem! Please help
Sav [38]

Answer:

m+n=140

Step-by-step explanation:

So the angles in a triangle always add up to 180. We already know that the first angle in the triangle is 40 degrees because it's shown in the angle below the triangle. So we have 140 degrees left since 40 is taken up. That eans m+n=140

The length of a rectangular deck is 4 times its width.
boyakko [2]

The area of the deck is 36 square feet.

<u>Solution:</u>

Assume l is the length of the deck; w is its width, P is its perimeter and A is its area.

Given that length of a rectangular deck is 4 times its width

\Rightarrow l=4w \rightarrow(1)

Perimeter of the deck is 30 ft

\text{Perimeter of a rectangle} = 2(\text{ length }+\text{ width })\rightarrow(2)

On substituting all the given values in (2) we get,

\Rightarrow30=2(4w+w) \rightarrow \frac{30}{2}=5w \rightarrow 15=5w

On dividing we get,

\Rightarrow w=\frac{15}{5} \rightarrow w=3 ft

If w=3, \rightarrow l=4\times 3=12 ft

\text { Area }=\text{ width } \times \text{ length }

On substituting the values in the above formula we get,

A=12\times3=36 \text{ square feet }
