Question: 596
7. If b = 45, then v2 =
- A. 32
- B. 25
- C. 16
- D. 5
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
If bo = 45o, the other angle must also be 45o since 180 - 90 - 45 = 45, which makes this an isosceles right triangle. Therefore, the other leg of the triangle is also 4. From here, use the Pythagorean Theorem to find v2: 42 + 42 = v2. Simplify the left side of the equation to get 16 + 16 = 32. The correct answer is (A).
