Answer:

5\sqrt{10}\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the length of one leg of the triangle

we know that

In the right triangle of the figure

cos(45\°)=\frac{x}{10\sqrt{5}}

and remember that

cos(45\°)=\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}

so

\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}=\frac{x}{10\sqrt{5}}

x=(\sqrt{2}*10\sqrt{5})/2

x=5\sqrt{10}\ units

The length of one leg of the triangle \boxed{5\sqrt {10} }.

Further explanation:

The Pythagorean formula can be expressed as,

\boxed{{H^2} = {P^2} + {B^2}}.

Here, H represents the hypotenuse, P represents the perpendicular and B represents the base.

Isosceles triangle has 2 sides equal to each other and the two base angles are equal to each other.

Given:

The length of the hypotenuse is 10\sqrt 5.

The options are as follows,

(A). 5\sqrt 5

(B). 5\sqrt {10}

(C). 10\sqrt {5}

(D). 10\sqrt {10}

Explanation:

The length of the hypotenuse is 10\sqrt 5.

Consider the length of other leg of the triangle x.

Use the Pythagoras formula in triangle ABC.

\begin{aligned}{\left( {10\sqrt 5 }\right)^2}&= {\left( x \right)^2} + {\left( x \right)^2}\\100 \times 5&= 2{x^2}\\\frac{{500}}{2}&= {x^2}\\250&= {x^2}\\\end{aligned}

Further solve the above equation.

\begin{aligned}{x^2}&= 250\\x&= \sqrt {250}\\x&= 5\sqrt {10} \\\end{aligned}

Hence, the length of one leg of the triangle \boxed{5\sqrt {10} }.

Option (A) is not correct.

Option (B) is correct.

Option (C) is not correct.

Option (D) is not correct.

Jack divided his fortune of $92,000 into 8 equal parts. He gave 4 parts to his wife, 1 part to his son and divided the remaining
Karolina [17]

Answer:

4,600

Step-by-step explanation:

92,000/8= 11500

11500 x 4= 46000 to his wife

11500 for the son

92000-57500= 34500

34500/5= 6,900 each charity

11500-6900= 4600 is how more he is getting than each charity

A line passes through the point (–2, 7) and has a slope of –5.
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's create an equation in point-slope form, which is: y-y_1=m(x-x_1), where (x_1,y_1) is the point and m is the slope.

Here, our point is (-2, 7) and our slope is m = -5 so plug these in:

y -7=-5*(x-(-2))

y -7=-5*(x+2)

Now, if (a, 2) lies on this line, then it should satisfy the equation. So plug in a for x and 2 for y:

2 - 7 = -5(a + 2)

-5 = -5(a + 2)

Divide by -5:

1 = a + 2

Subtract 2 from both sides:

a = -1

Thus, the answer is B.

Hope this helps!
