D or F...i think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh well that's all i got im srry i couldnt help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its okay thanks for trying (:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NP

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D) sqrt 22 simplifies down to E)11(sqrt 2), so I think it's E)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you veery much!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually \(\sqrt{22} \neq 11\sqrt{2}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im stuck with a diff problem do you think you guys could help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the ratios of a 45 - 45 - 90 right triangle are \(1:1:\sqrt{2}\) so if the hypotenuse is \(22\) then the legs are each \[\frac{22}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{22\sqrt{2}}{2}=11\sqrt{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer \(11\sqrt{2}\) is the correct answer, but \[\sqrt{22}\neq 11\sqrt{2}\] they are different numbers
