Find the lengths of x I tried everything I still got it wrong
1 answer:
if the degrees in this triangle are truly 90-45-45, then the two unknown lengths are the same
and the pythagorean theorem holds anyways: a² + b² = c², where c is the longest side in a right triangle.
c is 16, so 16² is 256
2* a² = 256
I wrote 2 times s because a and b are of same length
devide each side by 2
a² = 128
take the root
a and b are:

Step-by-step explanation:
To evaluate or simplify expressions with exponents, we use exponent rules.
1. An exponent is only a short cut for multiplication. It simplifies how we write the expression.
2. When we multiply terms with the same bases, we add exponents.
3. When we divide terms with the same bases, we subtract exponents.
4. When we have a base to the exponent of 0, it is 1.
5. A negative exponent creates a fraction.
6. When we raise an exponent to an exponent, we multiply exponents.
7. When we have exponents with parenthesis, we apply it to everything in the parenthesis.
We will use these rules to simplify.
