PLEASE HURRY!!!

Lorena and Karla are creating an art project in the shape of a right triangle. They have a 92 cm-long piece of wood, which is to be used for the hypotenuse. The two legs of the triangular support are of equal length. Approximately how many more centimeters of wood do they need to complete the support?

A. 65.1 cm
B. 130.1 cm
C. 260.2
D. 125.7 ​

Answer :

Answer Should be B) 130.1 cm

Approximately [tex]130.1[/tex] cm more centimeters of wood will need to complete the support.

What is right triangle ?

Right triangle is a triangle in which one angle is of [tex]90^0[/tex] .

We have,

Hypotenuse [tex]=92[/tex] cm

Let,

Perpendicular [tex]= x[/tex] cm

Base [tex]=x[/tex] cm

So,

Using the Pythagoras theorem,

[tex]H^2=P^2+B^2[/tex]

So,

[tex]92^2=x^2+x^2[/tex]

[tex]92^2=2x^2[/tex]

⇒

[tex]2x^2 = 8464[/tex]

[tex]x^2 = 4232[/tex]

⇒[tex]x=65.05[/tex]

So,

Perpendicular [tex]= 65.05[/tex] cm

Base [tex]=65.05[/tex] cm

So,

The required wood to complete support [tex]=65.05+65.05=130.1[/tex] cm

Hence, we can say that approximately [tex]130.1[/tex] cm more centimeters of wood will need to complete the support.
