The correct question is
The hypotenuse and one of the legs of a right triangle form an angle that has a cosine of √<span>2/2 .
What is the measure of the angle?
Let
</span>∅--------> the angle
cos ∅=√2/2<span>
cos </span>∅=[distance of one of the leg/hypotenuse]
[distance of one of the leg/hypotenuse]=√2/2
<span>I could say that
</span>distance of one of the leg=√2
and
hypotenuse=2
so
<span>applying the Pythagorean theorem
</span>c=hypotenuse=2
a=√2
b=?
c²=a²+b²-------> b²=c²-a²------> b²=2²-(√2)²-----> b²=2-----> b=√2
therefore
if a=b
then
the angle ∅=45°
the answer is the option
<span>b.45 degrees</span>
Answer:
45,47
Step-by-step explanation:
(x)+(x+2)=92
= 2x+2=92
=2x=90
x=45
x+2=47
