Question

Identify the value of m. Give your answers in simplest radical form. C is incorrect! PLEASE HELP ME! I'm stuck on this problem!!

Answer 1

Answer: (B) 4√2

Explanation:

45-45-90 is a special triangle because the side lengths are congruent and the hypotenuse is √2 times the side lengths.

So, m√2 = 8

`m=(8)/(\sqrt2)`

`m=(8)/(\sqrt2)((\sqrt2)/(\sqrt2))`

`m=(8\sqrt2)/(2)`

`m=4\sqrt2`
