Round your answers to the nearest tenth. EXPLANATION Bacikground: A right triangle with angle measures of 45∘, 45∘, and 90∘ is considered special. In a 45-45-90 triangle, if a leg has length x, then the hypotenuse has length 2x.
Q. www-awu.aleks.com/alekscgi/x/lsl.exe/1o_U-lgNsIkr7j8P3jH-JJjXwPdiwdonGg9 Right Triangles and Trigonometry Special right triangles: Decimal answers QUESTION For the right triangles below, find the values of the side lengths c and h. Round your answers to the nearest tenth. EXPLANATION Bacikground: A right triangle with angle measures of 45∘, 45∘, and 90∘ is considered special. In a 45-45-90 triangle, if a leg has length x, then the hypotenuse has length 2x.
Identify Properties: Identify the properties of a 45−45−90 triangle: In this type of triangle, both legs are equal, and the hypotenuse is x2, where x is the length of each leg.
Calculate Hypotenuse: Given that one leg x is not specified, assume x=1 for simplicity in calculation. Calculate the hypotenuse c: c=x2=12≈1.4 when rounded to the nearest tenth.
Calculate Other Leg: Since it's a 45−45−90 triangle, the other leg h is also equal to x. Therefore, h=1.
