The legs of a isosceles right triangle both measure 10 inches find the length of the hypotenuse
1 answer:
Answer:
Hypotenuse = 14.1421 inches (rounded off to four decimal values)
Step-by-step explanation:
The legs of an isosceles triangle both measure 10 inches
Since the triangle is a right triangle,
We apply the Pythagorean Theorem to find the height of the hypotenuse
a² + b² = c²
a = 10 inches, b = 10 inches and (c) is the hypotenuse whose value we don't know.
So; 10² + 10² = c²
c² = 100 + 100
c² = 200
c = = 14.1421356237 inches
The hypotenuse is 14.1421 inches (answer rounded off to four decimal values)

Answer:
x= 5.6
Step-by-step explanation:
we will need to put the information we currently have into an equation:
10•2•x= 112
then multiply 10•2 which equals 20...then the equation wil turn out like this:
20•x=112
now you will isolate the x... but how?? dividing 20 by itslef.. cancelling it out, and if you do one thing to the other side of the equation, you have to do it to the other...
20/20•x=112/20
you will end up with x= 122/20
you can use a calculator for this step, but to practice long division... (check the screen shot thingie)
hope this helped !! ^^
