If Line LK = 16, find the length of Line JK.

JK = 16√2

Step-by-step explanation:

This triangle is a special case right triangle, where you have 1 90-degree angle and 2 45-degree angles. The sides that correspond to the 45-degree angles are scalable by 1 and the hypotenuse is scalable by √2. Sometimes these are called 1-1-√2 triangles, describing the measurements of the sides.

Since this has a side of 16, the hypotenuse will be 16√2.

Cheers.

take it another

step-by-step explanation:

assume that you have 3 different side lengths.   apply the pythagorean theorem here:   square each of the two shortest sides; call them a and b, so that their squares are a² and b².   also square the longest side, calling the result c².

now, if a² + b² = c² is true, the triangle is a right triangle; otherwise it is not a right triangle.
