Question

Please answerrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Using the Pythagorean theorem.

2. Using the ratio 1 : 1 : √2.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two options to find the value of x:

1. Using the Pythagorean theorem:

Hypotenuse = 5√2 inches and legs are equal in a 90 - 45 - 45 triangle like this.

Hypotenuse² = Leg² + Leg²

(5√2)² = 2Leg²

50 = 2Leg²

50/2 = Leg²

Leg² = 25

√Leg² = √25

Leg = 5 inches ⇒ x = 5

2. Using the ratio 1 : 1 : √2, this way:

1 : 1 : √2

x : x : 5√2

x = 5√2/√2

x = 5 and let's recall that in a 90 - 45 - 45 triangle legs are equal, therefore. ratio is:

5 : 5 : 5√2
