the triangle Loom is made from wood strips shaped into a 45 45 90 triangle. pegs are placed every half inch along the hypotenuse and every quarter inch along each leg. suppose you make a loom with an 18 inch hypotenuse. approximately how many pegs will you need

36 pegs (for the hypotenuse)

About 51 pegs (for the legs)

138 pegs (total)

Step-by-step explanation:

Along the hypotenuse, the pegs are placed every half-inch. That would make 2 pegs per inch. Multiply 2 x 18 to get 36.

The legs are each 9 sqrt 2. This is 12.7279220614. The pegs are placed at each quarter inch for the legs. This is 4 per inch. So multiply 12.7279220614 x 4 to get 50.9116882454. Round this to 51.

Add 51 + 51 for the legs total pegs. You get 102. Add 102 + 36 to get 138 pegs total.

Hope it helps!

look at the picture.

y-intercept for the function on a picture is 4 → point (0, 4).

y-intercept for the function

is for x = 0. substitute:

y-intercept is 8 → point (0, 8).
