A right triangle is shown. The other 2 angles are 45 degrees. The length of the hypotenuse is unknown, and the lengths of the other 2 sides are 14 and 14. Each leg of a 45°-45°-90° triangle measures 14 cm. What is the length of the hypotenuse? 7 cm 7 StartRoot 2 EndRoot cm 14 cm 14 StartRoot 2 EndRoot cm

Respuesta :

Answer:

The length of hypotenuse is[tex]14\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a right angled triangle

We are also given that The length of the hypotenuse is unknown, and the lengths of the other 2 sides are 14 cm and 14 cm

Perpendicular = 14 cm

Base = 14 cm

We are supposed to find hypotenuse

We will use Pythagoras theorem

So, [tex]Hypotenuse^2=Perpendicular^2+Base^2[/tex]

[tex]Hypotenuse ^2 = 14^2+14^2[/tex]

[tex]Hypotenuse = \sqrt{14^2+14^2}[/tex]

[tex]Hypotenuse=14\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Hence The length of hypotenuse is[tex]14\sqrt{2}[/tex]

The length of the hypotenuse is [tex]14\sqrt{2}[/tex] and this can be determined by using the Pythagorean theorem and the given data.

Given :

  • A right triangle is given. The other 2 angles are 45 degrees.
  • The length of the hypotenuse is unknown, and the lengths of the other 2 sides are 14 and 14.
  • Each leg of a 45°-45°-90° triangle measures 14 cm.

The Pythagorean theorem can be used to determine the length of the hypotenuse. The Pythagorean theorem is given by:

[tex]\rm H^2=B^2+P^2[/tex]   --- (1)

where H is the Hypotenuse, B is the Base and P is the Perpendicular.

Now, put the values of B and P in the equation (1).

[tex]\rm H^2=14^2+14^2[/tex]

[tex]\rm H = \sqrt{2\times 14 \times 14}[/tex]

[tex]\rm H = 14\sqrt{2}[/tex]

So, the length of the hypotenuse is [tex]14\sqrt{2}[/tex].
