The hypotenuse of a right triangle measures \(6\sqrt2\) inches and one angle is 45°. What is the number of square inches in the area of the triangle Pls Help pls.
+36915 A right triangle with a 45 degree angle has ANOTHER 45 degree angle...so two sides are the same length
Pythag theorem
x^2 + x^2 = (6 sqrt2)^2
2 x^2 = 72
x = 6 = side length area = 1/2 b h = 1/2 (6 x 6) = 18 in 2
