What is the length of side s of the square shown below?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i cant see the pic

OpenStudy (anonymous):

using the pythagorean theorem we know that a^2+b^2=c^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so we have this|dw:1366935927945:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if you take 8^2 you get 64 so 64=a^2+b^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you solve from here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no im so lost ..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok well i set you up here by giving you the equation a^2+b^2=64 now go through and try your answers in the formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to use the angles in this one. hypotenuse = 8 opp/hyp = sin so one side = 8 sin 45 = 5.65

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5.65^2 + 5.65^2 = 64 so sqrt 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2sqrt4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry 4sqrt2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i was confused for a sec ... thank you
