Answer:

8.9 ft. (Option C)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are given a right angled triangle. We are asked to find the value of perpendicular (y).

We'll be using pythagoras property.

According to the pythagoras property, sum of the squares of base and perpendicular is equivalent to the square of hypotenuse.

Here,

  • Hypotenuse = 12 ft
  • Base = 8 ft
  • Perpendicular (y) = ?

→ H² = B² + P²

→ H² - B² = P²

→ (12 ft)² - (8 ft)² = y²

→ 144 ft² - 64 ft² = y²

→ 80 ft² = y²

→ √(80 ft²) = y

→ 8.94427191 ft = y

→ <u>8.9</u><u> </u><u>ft</u><u> = y</u>

\therefore <u>Value</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>y</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>8</u><u>.</u><u>9</u><u>.</u><u> </u><u>(</u><u>Option </u><u>c</u><u>)</u>

Answer:

  • w = 8
  • x = 8√2
  • y = 8√2
  • z = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

A 45-45-90 right triangle is isosceles. That means both legs are the same length, and its hypotenuse is √2 times the leg length. You can figure these facts using trigonometry or the Pythagorean theorem, or you can rely on your memory of them.

w = 8 . . . . . . . . . . . same as the leg length shown

x = y = 8√2 . . . . . hypotenuse of smaller triangle; both legs are the same

z = (8√2)√2 = 16 . . . . hypotenuse of larger triangle

-16.9x + 16 is the correct answer. You have to remove the parentheses, collect the like terms, and then simplify.
