Question
find the values of x and y on the 45 45 90 degree special right triangle
Answers
GPT-4o mini
In a 45-45-90 degree special right triangle, the sides have a specific relationship:
- The two legs are of equal length.
- The length of the hypotenuse is \( \sqrt{2} \) times the length of each leg.
If we denote the length of each leg as \( x \), then the length of the hypotenuse \( h \) is:
\[
h = x \sqrt{2}
\]
If you want to find specific values for \( x \) and \( y \) (where \( y \) is likely the length of one of the legs), you can use this relationship.
If you know the length of the hypotenuse, you can find \( x \) using:
\[
x = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2}}
\]
If you're looking for specific calculations, please provide either the length of the hypotenuse or one of the legs, and I can help you find the corresponding values for \( x \) and \( y \).
