Angle T of right triangle TUV measures 45°. If base TU measures 10 units, what is the length of the hypotenuse of triangle TUV? need help! give multiple answers and how to work them (if any other answers)...
------
I assume that "U" is the right angle.
If T is 45 degrees, V is also 45degrees
-----
If TU is 10 units, VU is also 10 units.
----
Equation:
hypo^2 = 10^2 + 10^2
hypo^2 = 2*10^2
hypo = 10sqrt(2) units
