Question

Find m. Please guys I really need your help :(

Answer 1

`m=√(2)` inches

Explanation:

From the diagram, it is given that the triangle is a right angle isosceles triangle (angles are 45°, 45° and 90°). This means that the two shorter sides of the triangle are equal in length and that the side
`m` can be found by using the Pythagorean theorem
`a^(2)+b^(2)=c^(2)`.

`m^(2)+m^(2)=2^(2)` (The two shorter sides of the triangle are equivalent)

`2m^(2)=4`

`m^(2)=2`

`m=√(2)` inches

I hope this helps :)
