Question

1) A triangle with sides 5, 5, and 5√2 is an example of a 45-45-90 right triangle. A. True B. False

Answer 1

B.False

Explanation:

1. You're given one leg. Because you know both legs are equal, you know the length of both the legs. You can find the hypotenuse by multiplying this length by the square root of 2.

2. You're given the hypotenuse. Divide the hypotenuse by the square root of 2 to find the legs (which are equal).
