Answer

C

Explanation

In a square, the diagonals are equal in length and bisect each other at right angles. Therefore, each diagonal divides the square into two congruent isosceles right triangles. The length of each diagonal is given by the Pythagorean theorem as s\sqrt{2}, where s is the side length of the square. Since the diagonal is the hypotenuse of the isosceles right triangle, the length of each leg of the isosceles triangle is given by \frac{s\sqrt{2}}{2}.

Please select the FALSE statement regarding lipids. Multiple Choice Butyrate is a long-chain fatty acid that is produced by gut bacteria when they degrade undigested plant material. A wax is a long-chain fatty acid covalently bonded to a long-chain alcohol and is insoluble in water. Phospholipids resemble triglycerides but one fatty acid is replaced with a phosphate group. Steroids differ in structure from lipids but are classified as such because they are insoluble in water. Short-chain fatty acids contain five or fewer carbon atoms and may reduce the risk of colon cancer.
