Pythagoras theorem: leg 1 squared + leg 2 squared = hypotenuse squared
In the diagram, the triangle has angles 90 and 45. So the other angle in the triangle must be 45 degrees as well. (180 - 90 -45 = 45)
This means it is an isosceles triangle (since two angles are the same), so the two legs have the same length.
So we can say that length of leg1 = x, and the length of leg2 also equals x
Now let's use pythagoras' theorem:
leg1 = x
leg2 = x
hypotenuse = 16
x^2 + x^2 = 16^2
2x^2 = 16^2
2x^2 = 256
x^2 = 128
x = √(128)
x = 8√2
I think you meant to add more to your question (posting the specific problem).
In general, one special right triangle is the <span>45°-45°-90° triangle, in which both legs are congruent and the hypotenuse = √2 * the length of the leg. if you happen to not have the length of the leg, the formula for finding the leg is: leg = hypotenuse / √2
Another special right triangle is the </span><span>30°-60°-90° triangle. With this kind of triangle the length of the hypotenuse is twice the length of the shorter leg. The length of the longer leg is √3 times the length of the shorter leg.
hypotenuse = 2 * shorter leg
longer leg = √3 * shorter leg</span>
Answer:
6x+3
Step-by-step explanation:
If you're just combining like terms this is the correct answer
You do nine divided by fifteen which =$0.6
