jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
than i see it right this is a right triangle where to find the x value you need using pythagora's theorem - do you know it ?
OpenStudy (montsechamorro):
a^2+b^2=c^2
OpenStudy (montsechamorro):
i just don't know how to apply it
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
right and isosceles triangle

so 2 45 degree angles and one 90?
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
so you know that in case of an isosceles triangle the two legs are equal length so in this case than these legs are a and b so you need calculi the c
than a and b are 10sqrt2
how you use the pythagoras theorem ?
OpenStudy (montsechamorro):
so 10^2+10^2= x
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
no
the length of a side is 10sqrt2 not just 10
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
and the sum of these is equal x^2 not just x

I'm confused on the equation
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
(10sqrt2)^2 +(10sqrt2)^2 = x^2
right ?
OpenStudy (montsechamorro):
yes how do i simply with the sqrt
jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
when you squared sqrt2 how many will result ?
OpenStudy (montsechamorro):
10
