Geometry. find the indicated side of the triangle. include a clear answer and description if possible.

Hello!

To find side b of this right triangle, you would need to use cosine.

The formula for cosine is opposite / hypotenuse.

Since this is a 45-45-90 triangle, this type of triangle has unique characteristics compared to other triangles.

The ratio between the angles 45-45-90 are 1:1:√2. (or x : x : x√2).

45 → x, 90 → x√2

The given ratio says that the other sides of the triangle should be equal to half the hypotenuse times the √2.

. 5√2 is equal to about 7.071678...

We can check this method by using cosine.

cos(45) = b / 10 (multiply both sides by 10)

10cos(45) = b

b = 7.071678...

Therefore, the measure of side b is equal to 5√2.

the volume is the product of the area of the base, 3x(3x+4), and the height, 3x-1
