Question

The legs of a 45 45 90 triangle have a length of 8 units what is the length of the hypotenous

Answer 1

11.31 units

Explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

8^2 + 8^2 = c^2

64 + 64 = c^2

128 = c^2

Opposite of exponents is square roots, and we need to get rid of that exponent in c^2, meaning we find the square root.

`√(128\\) \\\\` = c

c = 11.31 units
