The length of a leg of an isosceles right triangle is 20 inches. find the length of the hypotenuse in radical form

H = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the hypotenuse , we will use Pythagoras theorem, which states that

The square of the hypotenuse = the square of the adjacent + the square of the opposite.

Since , we are dealing with isosceles right triangle , this means that :

both the adjacent and the opposite are equal, using the formula to find the hypotenuse , let H represent the hypotenuse , then

= +  

= 400 + 400

= 800

Take the square root of both sides

H =

can be written as x

Therefore :

H = x

H = 20x

H = 20

10.416 meters per second

step-by-step explanation:

distance=1 00 meters

time= 9.6 seconds in decimal form or 9 3/5 as a mixed number

average speed= 100/9.6

=10.416 meters per second or 10 52/125 as a mixed number.
