Question

Find the missing side length for c and the missing angle measures for a and b in the image above. Write a paragraph telling how you found the missing values

Answer 1

someone please help!

Answer 2

use the Pythagorean theorem

Answer 3

ya a squared + b squared = c squared

Answer 4

yup that one a^2 + b^2 = c^2

Answer 5

this triangle is "Isosceles Right Triangle"

Answer 6

so 1 squared + 1 squared = c squared
and then 1 + 1 = c squared
2= c squared
1.4 = c?

Answer 7

c = 1.41 units

Answer 8

alright, now how do i find the a and b measures

Answer 9

ok for angles you must know
sum of all angles = 180
we know its Isosceles Right Triangle, so it has a right angle (90°), and also two equal angles

Answer 10

180 = a+b+90

Answer 11

so each a & b will be 45 each

Answer 12

so it's just 180= 45+45+90?

Answer 13

yup

Answer 14

you got it right :)

Answer 15

thank you so much!

Answer 16

always welcome Izzy :)

Answer 17

could you help me on another? @annas

Answer 18

hmm ok I'll try

Answer 19

Find the missing side length for c and the missing angle measures for a and b in the image above. Write a paragraph telling how you found the missing values.

Answer 20

same procedure :D

Answer 21

its again Isosceles Right Triangle
so angle a & b will be 45 again

Answer 22

so should i calculate the square root of 3 first? then do that in the pythagorean thm?

Answer 23

(1)^2 + (under-root(3))^2 = c^2
we know in under-root power is equal to 1/2
(1)^2 + ((3)^1/2)^2 = c^2
1/2 x 2 = 1 thats a law of power
so 1 + 3 = c^2
c = 2

Answer 24

I hope I explained well

Answer 25

okay and after that i just say that a and b are 45? to make the 45 + 45 + 90 = 180? and yes you explained that very clearly! thank you!

Answer 26

yup thats correct :) oh thanks :)

Answer 27

Alright thank you so much you've helped me a ton!

Answer 28

:D ah no you are pretty smart yourself
