Answer:
6 units, hope this helped!
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x------------> <span>The length of one leg
</span>y------------> <span>The length of second leg
</span>
we know that
H=50 cm
x=2y
<span>applying the Pythagorean theorem
H</span>²=x²+y²--------> 50²=(2y)²+y²---------> 2500=4y²+y²-----> y²=2500/5
y=√500--------> y=22.4 cm
<span>so
</span>x=2y--------> x=2*22.4--------> x=44.8 cm
<span>
the answer is
</span><span>the lengths of the legs of the triangle are
</span>44.8 cm
and
22.4 cm
--------------------------------------------------------------
Find Slope
--------------------------------------------------------------
4x + 2y = 2
2y= -4x + 2
y = -4/2 x + 2
y = -2x + 2
Slope = -2
Perpendicular slope = 1/2
--------------------------------------------------------------
Insert slope into the general equation y = mx + c
--------------------------------------------------------------
y = 1/2x + c
--------------------------------------------------------------
Find y-intercept
--------------------------------------------------------------
y = 1/2x + c
at (5,6)
6 = 1/2 (5) + c
6 = 5/2 + c
c = 6 - 5/2
c = 7/2
--------------------------------------------------------------
Insert y-intercept into y = 1/2 x + c
--------------------------------------------------------------
y = 1/2 x + 7/2
2y = x + 7
--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: 2y = x + 7
--------------------------------------------------------------
