Hi there!
For any 45 45 90 right triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is always the square root of 2 times one of the legs.
To get the lengths of the leg, let's divide the length of the hypotenuse by the square root of 2.
We get the following:

When simplifying fractions like this, we want to avoid having radicals on the bottom. In order to remove the radical from the denominator, let's multiply the numerator and the denominator by the square root of 2.
We get the following:

That's your answer.
Have an awesome day! :)

Answer:
x = 17.5 and y = 35
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + 10 = y + 10 ( alternate angles )
subtract 10 from both sides
2x = y ⇒ 6x = 3y → (1)
the sum of the 3 angles in the triangle = 180°
6x + y + 10 + 30 = 180 ( replace 6x by 3y )
3y + y + 40 = 180
4y + 40 = 180 ( subtract 40 from both sides )
4y = 140 ( divide both sides by 4 )
y = 35
substitute y = 35 into (1)
2x = 35 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 17.5
Answer:
b = 252 in
Step-by-step explanation:
cos theta = adjacent side over hypotenuse
cos 38 = b/ 320
Multiply each side by 320
320 cos 38= b/320 * 320
320 cos 38 = b
252.1634412 =b
To the nearest whole number
252 =b
