The hypotenuse of an isosceles triangles measures 10 inches long. What is the length of one leg of the triangle?

For any isosceles right triangle (aka 45-45-90 triangle), the hypotenuse is always equal to sqrt(2) times the leg. If x is the leg and y is the hypotenuse, then

which solves to

from here we plug in the given hypotenuse y = 10 to get the final answer. Optionally we could rationalize the denominator, but your teacher has chosen not to.

i used to know but i learned it a long time ago sorry

step-by-step explanation:

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
