In a 45 - 45 - 90 triangle the two smaller sides are =. So when you use
a^2 + b^2 = c^2, you need a and b both to find the area.
So call both of them = b^2.
Equation and solution
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
b^2 + b^2 = c^2
2b^2 = c^2
c = 24
b = ???
2 b^2 = 24^2
2 b^2 = 576 Divide by 2
b^2 = 288 I'm going to leave this as it is for the moment. You'll see what in a second.
Area of a triangle
Area of a triangle = 1/2 h * b
But the height and base are the 2 smaller equal sides of a 45_45_90 triangle
so h = b
base = b
Area of a triangle = 1/2 b^2 The equalities above tell you that. h and b of the triangle are equal.
Area = 1/2 288 feet^2
Area = 144 feet^2
Answer:
it would be 20 miles per hour
Is there a reference picture I could see?
It would be 7 because a line (altitude) that forms a right angle with the triangle will split the side it’s touching in half. The area is 196 because 14x14 is196
Okay. So, 15% is 15/100 and 33% is 33/100. 15 + 33 is 48. You leave the denominator the same, so the fraction is 48/100. However, the fraction needs to be simplified. Whatever you do to the numerator, we must do to the denominator. We can divide both numbers by 4 to get the simplified fraction form. 48/4 is 12. 100/4 is 25. There. The simplified fraction is 12/25. The answer is H: 12/25.
