Answer:
[tex]\boxed{11m}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Method #1: 45-45-90 Triangle
You can use the rules for a 45-45-90 triangle. These are:
→ Each 45-45-90 triangle is a right triangle with two additional 45° angles.
→ The triangle will have 2 legs, x, and one hypotenuse, x√2.
Therefore, because the problem gives values for one leg and the hypotenuse, the value for the one leg is equal to the value for the unsolved leg.
Method #2: Pythagorean Theorem
You can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve for a missing side in a triangle. Please note, however, that the Pythagorean Theorem only works on right triangles.
The Pythagorean Theorem is defined as [tex]a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2},[/tex] where a and b are both legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse.
Therefore, substitute the known value for a, 11, and the known value for c, 11√2. Then, evaluate each value to its power (except for b - it is unsolved) and simplify the equation with basic algebraic methods. Once your equation is down to [tex]b^{2}= ?[/tex], you should take the square root of both sides of the equation to get the value for b.
[tex]11^{2} +b^{2} =(11\sqrt{2} )^{2}\\121 + b^{2} = 242\\b^{2}=121\\b=11[/tex]
