Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
hen molecular hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) are combined and allowed to react together, energy is released and the molecules of hydrogen and oxygen can combine to form either water or hydrogen peroxide. These two processes are represented by the two chemical equations shown at right.
2.8x10^-5 ; 2.8x10^-3 ; 2.8 ; 2.8x10^2 ; 2.8x10^4
Answer:
B. 6√2
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this out. The Pythagorean Theorem states that for any right triangle with the shortest sides (called legs) as a and b and the longest side (called the hypotenuse) as c:
a² + b² = c²
Here, a = b = 6, so:
6² + 6² = c²
36 + 36 = c²
72 = c²
c = √72 = 6√2
Now, we see the answer is B.
However, there's a trick to solving these kinds of problems. Notice that DEF is both an isosceles triangle and a right triangle. We call these 45-45-90 triangles because those are the angles of the triangle.
One characteristic of these types of triangles is that their leg to leg to hypotenuse ratio is 1 : 1 : √2, always. We could apply that here. We see that the legs are 6, so we could find the hypotenuse simply by multiplying 6 by √2, and we would get 6√2, which is exactly the value we obtained above.
Thus, the answer is B.
