Question

The perimeter of a 45 degree right triangle is 27.31 inches. If one side is 8 inches, what is the length of the hypotenuse?

Answer 1

Since the triangle rectangle has an angle of 45 degrees and a side of 8, then the other side must be also 8 and the other angle must be also 45 degrees

Perimeter = 27.31 = 8 + 8 + hypotenuse

Solving for hypotenuse:

Hypotenuse = 27.31 - 8 - 8 = 11.31

Answer:

Hypotenuse = 11.31
