u are doing a 45-45-90 triangle...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright, then what?

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

so if you know a, and you are finding the hypotenuse, you just plug it in.. so it would be 20 square root 2

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

when you are working with a 45 45 90 you arent dealing with the squar root of three so you can eliminate answer a and answer b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the answer is D?

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

you got it :)
