Don't forget to rationalize the denominator.

yes a^2+b^2=c^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i know c^2 =10
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
These are the proportions for 45-45-90 triangle (proven by the Pythagorean theorem)
You just need to divide the hypotenuse by `√2`
OpenStudy (anonymous):
also because the triangle is a 45 45 90 triangle the legs are equal. therefore, a=b in the pythagorean thereom.

would it be 10 radical 2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
7.07 or 5 radical 2
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
No .... !!! Never approximate √2, your teachers will lower your grade SO MUCH because of that. Guarantee!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@nabiladh you look hot btw ;)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the only choices are a) 10 rad 2
b)5 rad 2
c)5 unit
