Answer:

x = y = 15
√(2)

Explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle and the exact value

sin45° =
(√(2) )/(2) , then

sin45° =
(opposite)/(hypotenuse) =
(x)/(30) ( multiply both sides by 30 )

30 × sin45° = x , then

x = 30 ×
(√(2) )/(2) = 15
√(2)

The triangle is a right isosceles triangle thus the legs are congruent, then

x = y = 15
√(2)
