  • Choice C) Leg length = \frac{e\sqrt{2}}{2}
  • Choice E) Area = \frac{e^2}{4}

Note: if the formulas don't load properly, then you may need to refresh the page.

======================================================

Explanation:

For any 45-45-90 right triangle, the hypotenuse H is always sqrt(2) times the leg L

In terms of symbols, we can say

H = L*\sqrt{2}

We're told the hypotenuse is e, so H = e

Let's solve for L in terms of e

H = L*\sqrt{2}\\\\e = L*\sqrt{2}\\\\L*\sqrt{2} = e\\\\L = \frac{e}{\sqrt{2}}\\\\

Now let's multiply top and bottom by \sqrt{2} to rationalize the denominator

L = \frac{e}{\sqrt{2}}\\\\L = \frac{e\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}*\sqrt{2}}\\\\L = \frac{e\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2*2}}\\\\L = \frac{e\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{4}}\\\\L = \frac{e\sqrt{2}}{2}\\\\

If the hypotenuse is e, then the length of each leg is \frac{e\sqrt{2}}{2}

This matches with choice C, which is one of the two answers. This allows us to rule out choices A and B, as those expressions are not equivalent to the expression for choice C.

----------------

The two legs of any right triangle form the base and height. The order doesn't matter. The base is always perpendicular to the height. In a right triangle, the two legs are always perpendicular.

The base and height are \frac{e\sqrt{2}}{2} each.

The area of the triangle is...

\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2}*\text{base}*\text{height}\\\\\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2}*\frac{e\sqrt{2}}{2}*\frac{e\sqrt{2}}{2}\\\\\text{Area} = \frac{e\sqrt{2}*e\sqrt{2}}{2*2*2}\\\\\text{Area} = \frac{e*e\sqrt{2*2}}{2*2*2}\\\\\text{Area} = \frac{e^2\sqrt{4}}{2*2*2}\\\\\text{Area} = \frac{e^2*2}{2*2*2}\\\\\text{Area} = \frac{e^2}{2*2}\\\\\text{Area} = \frac{e^2}{4}\\\\

This matches with choice E, which is the other answer. Choices D and F are eliminated as they are not equivalent to the expression for choice E.

PLEASE HELP ME!!! I have no idea what to do-
Stells [14]

Your answer would be the last option, D.

This is because spinning the spinner does not affect which marble you pick, as these are mutually exclusive events. This means that if the spinner lands on red, you could choose a black or white marble, and if the spinner lands on green you could also choose a black or white marble.

The only sample space that represents this is D because it's the only one that includes both black and white options after spinning red and green.

I hope this helps!
