Anna is making a banner out of 4 congruent triangles as shown below. How much blue trim will she need for each side
1 answer:
Answer:
The length of each blue trim is 17.2 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for banner
Required
The length of each blue trim
Since all 4 triangles are equal, then the dimension of 1 triangle is:
The hypotenuse (x) of the triangle blue trim is represented by the blue trim
So:
This gives
Take square root
