OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k we know that this is a 45-45-90

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im just confused because i have to find two sides now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that means immedietly that two of these sides are maching

OpenStudy (anonymous):

matching*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh okay so the missing sides are the same?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Go slower Chucho. No one is going to interrupt you =0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no look, if you see one is longer than the other

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh y=7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look at the angles did you notice one of them is 90?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well the other two are identical so it makes them 45 each so thier sides match

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 7's side=y's side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now we have the a and b but we are missing c.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you think you know what to do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1405701956382:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so like this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep so how would we find c?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[a^{2}+b ^{2}=c ^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and lucky for you a^2 equals b^2 so itll be eaiser

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k so did you get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got c=9.899

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now we round to the nearest tenth.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 9.9?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tada!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you so much!! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

np

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lemme c if i can

OpenStudy (anonymous):

look at that its gone :l

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i dont know what happened!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@chucho78 can you see it now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah idk why you took it out earlier tho

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the top angle is 66 degrees.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how would i find the other side?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if the angles aren't the same doesn't that mean that the sides are different?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this will save your life through your whole lesson

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks!! :)
