hi.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, its: What is the maximum length of the seesaw?

it b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You have a 45-45-90 right triangle, so the length hypotenuse is \(\sqrt2\) times the length of the leg. If the height is the leg then then the length of the seesaw is the hypotenuse. \(1 \times \sqrt2\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait.. How do I have a 45-45-90 angle?
