Given:
A 9-inch square cake is cut in half along the diagonal
Calculation:
The cut cake will look like a right
In a right angled triangle with angle measures of 45°,45° & 90° two legs (a) will be same and the hypotenuse will be given by the term
In the current problem .the triangle is a 45°-45°-90° triangle with legs being equal to 9 in.
Thus the hypotenuse will be equal to
Conclusion:
