Exercise 10 Page 644

Notice that the given figure is a 45^(∘)-45^(∘)-90^(∘) triangle.

Practice makes perfect

Consider the given right triangle.

In a 45^(∘)-45^(∘)-90^(∘) triangle, the legs are congruent and the hypotenuse is sqrt(2) times the length of a leg. With this information, we can find the value of x. x = sqrt(2) * 17sqrt(2) Finally, we can find the simplest expression for x.

x=sqrt(2) * 17sqrt(2)
