Question

Find the length of the hypotenuse of a 45*,45*,90* triangle with a leg of 8.

Answer 1

The choices are:
a.\[4\sqrt{2}\]
b.16
c.8
d\[8\sqrt{2}\]

Answer 2

And this "*" Is used as the degree's sign

Answer 5

Hint:
If the leg of a 45-45-90 triangle is 1...

Answer 6

1.14

Answer 7

um...no

Answer 8

If the leg of a 45-45-90 triangle is 1, then the hypotenuse is \(\sqrt{2}\)
If the leg of a 45-45-90 triangle is 8, then what is the hypotenuse?

Answer 9

Would it be the \[\sqrt{16}\]?

Answer 10

No...It wouldn't

Answer 11

Set up this proportion:
\(\large \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{8}{x}\)
Solve for x

Answer 12

(cross multiply)

Answer 13

Here's a web page that will explain about 45 45 90 triangles
http://www.1728.org/trig2.htm

Anyway in a 45 45 90 triangle, the hypotenuse equals the leg times square root of 2 (about 1.414)

Answer 14

So if the leg = 8 then the hypotenuse equals?

Answer 17

Yeah I am sorry I'm so busy with all my work rn

Answer 18

So, hey ... how about those Boston Bruins? :-)

Answer 19

Anyway, the hypotenuse = leg * square root of 2
So the hypotenuse = 8 * 1.414 = 11.31

Answer 20

the exact answer would be D, 8(square root of)2 because (square root of)2 is an irrational number, and therefore in order to get the exact solution you need to keep it as (square root of)2

Answer 21

@babygurl47672 do you still need help?

Answer 22

No I'm good thanks
