Question

Use the triangle at the right to answer questions 7 and 8.

Answer 1

Answer:

7) 14✓2

8) 14

are the answers.

Step-by-step explanation:

in a triangle the sum of angles is 180 deg.

the third angle will be = 180 - 90 - 45

= 45 deg

since 2 angles in the triangle are 45 deg it means the triangle is isosceles

and in isosceles triangle the sides opposite to equal angles are equal which means

z = 14 (answer to question 8)

now in right angle triangle, by pythogoras theorem,

hypotenuse ² = base ² + height ²

thus

${w}^{2} = {z}^{2} + {14}^{2} \\ {w}^{2} = {14}^{2} + {14 }^{2} \\ {w}^{2} = 2 \times {14}^{2} \\ w = \sqrt{2 \times {14}^{2} } \\ = \sqrt{2} \times 14 \\ = 14 \sqrt{2}$
