Q:

Please help and show work thank you. 1. How are the angles of an equilateral triangle related? 2. How does the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle compare to the lengths of the legs?

Accepted Solution

A:
An equilateral triangles has 3 equal sides and 3 equal angles.
All the angles of an equilateral triangle have a measure of 60 degrees.

Using the Pythagorean theorem, the length of the hypotenuse squared is the length of one leg squared plus the length of another leg squared.

Here's the equation for the Pythagorean theorem.
Let c be the length of the hypotenuse.
Let a and b be the length of the two legs.
a^2 + b^2 = c^2Β 

Have an awesome day! :)
