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
