need help, geometry

karissafrazier:

be warned, i'm no good with math

nottobemistakenwith:

a+b=c

nottobemistakenwith:

or in this case, 2div5+2div5=h

nottobemistakenwith:

although, it may also be sqrt2(5)+sqrt2(5)=h

karissafrazier:

huh?

Vocaloid:

Politely disagree with the previous response The Pythagorean theorem is a^2 + b^2 = c^2 not simply a + b = c Therefore, since your legs are each 5sqrt(2): h^2 = (5sqrt(2))^2 + (5sqrt(2))^2 Solve for h Alternatively: since we have a 45-45-90 triangle, the hypotenuse is simply sqrt(2) times a leg So h = 5sqrt(2) * sqrt(2) = ?

5?

thanks for clari, been a minute

Vocaloid:

sqrt(2) * sqrt(2) = 2 So 5sqrt(2) * sqrt(2) = 10
