PERFOMANCE TASK: Solve the word problem below. You may draw the figure to solve the problem The legs of a right triangle are congruent, and the hypotenuse is 5v2 units long. Find the length of each leg. (Use the Pythagorean Theorem, c2 al + b2D

x =5

Step-by-step explanation:

c = 5√2

a = x

b = x

Formula

x^2 + x^2 = c^2                    Combine the x^2

Solution

2x^2 = (5√2)^2                    Expand the right side

2x^2 = 2*25                         Divide both sides by 2

x^2 = 25                               Take the square root of both sides.

x = 5

answer: b.

step-by-step explanation:

the y coordinate for point b is 0, and answer b is the only one with that y coordinate.

greater than one
