Question

Instructions: use the ratio of a 45-45-90 triangle to solve for the variables. Leave your answers as radicals in simplest form

Answer 1

Answer:

v=14, u=14

Step-by-step explanation:

The 45-45-90 theorem states that the hypotenuse is $\sqrt{2}$ times the bases of the triangle. So, to find one of the bases, we need to divide $\sqrt{2}$. Thus, $\frac{12\sqrt{2} }{\sqrt{2} } = 12$.
