Question

Find m. Please guys I really need your help :(

Answer 1

Answer:

$m=\sqrt{2}$ inches

Step-by-step explanation:

From the diagram, it is given that the triangle is a right angle isosceles triangle (angles are 45°, 45° and 90°). This means that the two shorter sides of the triangle are equal in length and that the side $m$ can be found by using the Pythagorean theorem $a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}$.

$m^{2}+m^{2}=2^{2}$ (The two shorter sides of the triangle are equivalent)

$2m^{2}=4$

$m^{2}=2$

$m=\sqrt{2}$ inches

I hope this helps :)
