A rectangular piece of material 150 cm wide by 45 cm long was cut along the diagonal to form two congruent triangles. What is the length of the longest side of one of the triangles? Ensure to label the diagram. (5 marks) Hint: Pythagorean Theorem. A right triangle has a hypotenuse that is 18 cm long; how long is the side adjacent to the 17° angle? Solve your answer using a diagram and round to the nearest tenth of a cm. (5 marks)
