What is the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle with the bottom leg 5 square root 2 the right leg 5 square root 2 and hypotenuse is h?
In any right triangle, the hypotense squared = the square of one side + the square of the other side. h2 = a2 + b2 Here, h2 = 52 + 122 = 25 + 144 = 169 We have h2 = 169 The square root of 169 is 13, [ so the length of the hypotenuse is 13 inches. length of hypotenuse = 13 ]
Use the pythagorean theorem here: The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the sides. This is often written a^2 + b^2 = c^2
\[5\sqrt{2}^{2}+5\sqrt{2}^{2}=h ^{2}\]
i need to know what this is quick >.<
im sorry to confuse you but that was just a texting face sorry for the confusion. can you help me with the question i just put up though?
lol... i didnt pay attension to the face !!! read the first post i explained to the whole thing !
that isnt one of the choices for multiple choice question im sorry if i come off as lazy but im graduating tomorrow and if i dont finish this class by tomorrow i will not graduate and i need all the assistance i can get
oh.. sorry about that :(
wht class is it exactly ???
its geometry but its an online class called apex and im so close to finishing but this is the last section and im drawing blanks on the questions
The way I read your problem, the sides are \[5\sqrt{2}\] The square of that isn't \[5 \sqrt{2}^2\] it's \[(5\sqrt{2})^2\]
can i send you a message of the actual problem? and possible answers?
Let's see if I have your problem deciphered correctly: What is the square root of 2?
|dw:1371616355738:dw|
this is what the question looks like
Pretty picture. Now, what is the square root of 2?
the square root of 2 is 1.4142135623730950488016997242097
Correct. Now what is 5 times the square root of 2?
7.071067811865475
7.0710678118654752440084436210485
Also correct. And THAT is the length of 2 of your sides. Take that 7.071 and square it. Then double it. That effectively gives you: 7.071^2 + 7.071^2 = the square of the hypotenuse.
so the answers 10?
YES!!!!! EXCELLENT!!! :-)
7.071^2 = 50 50+50=100 sqrt(100)=10
THANK YOU!!!!
would you still be able to help me?
No problem! I'm glad I was able to walk you through it! :-)
With what? I have to get off here pretty soon now.
And thank you! :-)
@qweqwe123123123123111 u r an expert !!!
Only at the stuff I know... With stuff I don't know, I'm just as big an idiot as anyone else... :-)
|dw:1371617070503:dw| what is the length of the diagonal of the square?
lol... soo ur a geometry genius ???
Okay, this one's an easy quicky... it's the sqrt(11^2 + 11^2) It's done exactly the same way as your last problem.
Nah. I'm a hypotenuse expert. :-)
is it \[11\sqrt{2} ?\]
No, it's \[\sqrt{11^{2}+11^{2}}\]
but that equals 15.55634918610405 and wouldnt that be equivalent to \[11\sqrt{2}\]?
Gakk!! You're getting ahead of me!! Yes, of course it is. I wasn't looking at it that way, but it is. Good job! :-)
its all cause of you! thanks a ton
No problem at all! :-)
Good luck for ur graduation !!! do inform !
i may be asking a few other questions through out the night so please if you can help id VERY MUCH appreciate it tanya
i will try ... :/
