ΔABC is a 45 - 45 - 90 triangle. The pattern of its sides is as follows:
Each leg = 1 unit (and both legs are that way, since the triangle is isosceles - so two sides are the same)
Hypotenuse = √2 units.
So if we know either leg, we multiply by √2 to get the hypotenuse. In reverse, we divide by √2 if we know the hypotenuse to get the measurement of a leg.
Our problem tells us that the hypotenuse AC is 10 units. We divide 10 by √2 to get the measurement of leg AB. Since it's a 45 -45 - 90 triangle, AB = BC.
to rationalize the radical
Thus, each leg is 5\sqrt{2} [/tex].
Answer:
x = 21.3 repeating. so put the - on top of the 3 if you're writing it down
Answer:
- 6.04 km (per angle marks)
- 5.36 km (per side hash marks)
Step-by-step explanation:
Going by the angle indicators, the ratios of corresponding sides of the similar triangles are ...
x/2000 = 4200/3500
x = 2000·6/5 = 2400 . . . . yards
Then the distance of interest is ...
(2400 yd + 4200 yd)×(0.0009144 km/yd) = 6.6×.9144 km
= 6.03504 km ≈ 6.04 km
_____
Going by the red hash marks, the ratios of corresponding sides of the similar triangles are ...
x/2000 = 3500/4200
x = 2000·(5/6) = 5000/3 . . . . yards
Then the distance of interest is ...
(5000/3 + 4200) yd × 0.0009144 km/yd ≈ 5.36 km
_____
<em>Comment on the figure</em>
The usual geometry here is that the outside legs (opposite the vertical angles) are parallel, meaning that the angle indicators are the correct marks. It is possible, but unusual, for the red hash marks to be correct and the angle indicators to be mismarked. The red hash marks seem tentatively drawn, so seem like they're more likely to be the incorrect marks.
Step-by-step explanation:
9x - 2x = 8 + 5
7x = 13
x =13÷7
x = 1.8571
approximately = 1.86
I think this is it
