What is 3 x 1/2 ? For my math homework

1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2=0.5

3*0.5

By drawing a diagonal in a square you are dividing the square into two congruent isosceles right triangles. Using Pythagorean Theorem we can find the length of the diagonal.

a squared + b squared = c squared
a and b represent the sides of the triangle (aka the length of a side of the square), and c represents the hypotenuse (aka the diagonal).
9 squared + 9 squared = c squared
81 + 81 = c squared
162 = c squared
take the square root of both sides
81= x
