Question 6.

Given:

Length of hypotenuse = √50

Lengh iof one leg = 5

Let's find the length of s.

We can see the triangle given is a 45-45-90 degrees special right triangle.

For a 45-45-90 degrees special right triangle, we have the following properties:

• Length of the legs are equal.

• If length of one leg = a

Length of hypotenuse = a√2.

Since the length of the legs are equal, we have:

s = 5

Therefore, the length of s is 5 units.

ANSWER:

= 5
