a. 5m b. 5 sqrt 2 m c. 5 sqrt 3 m d. 10m

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

use cosine

Nnesha (nnesha):

you should use cos which is equal =adjacent over hyp \[\huge\rm cos 45 = \frac{ x }{ 5\sqrt{2} }\] http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/5575da3ce4b0826b0eaf6c46

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

what is cos(45)=?

OpenStudy (jjuden):

i think its c but my math is off

|dw:1433788042810:dw|

Nnesha (nnesha):

nope c is wrong and remember it's 45 degree*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2 x^2=\left(5 \sqrt{2}\right)^2 \] x = 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can use pythagoras's theorem \[x^2+x^2=\left( 5\sqrt{2} \right)^2,x=?\]

thank you all i think i got it :)
