Question

I have a 45, 45, 90 right triangle. The hypotenuse is 10 units long. How long are the legs?

a) 5 units
b) √10 units
c) 5 √2
d) one is 5 units s and the other is 5 √3

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

hope this helps:))))))))))

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

The triangle follows the pattern:

45 - 45 - 90

x - x - xsqrt(2)

Since you already have the hypotenuse (90), you need to divide by sqrt(2) to get the legs.

`(10)/(√(2) ) = (10√(2) )/(2) = 5√(2)`
