Question

What is x and y? i am having trouble finding what x and y are

Answer 1

y = 14.1 or 10√2

Explanation:

is an isosceles right triangle, so x = 10

to find y we use pythagoras

y = √(10²+10²)

y = √200

y = 14.1 or 10√2

Answer 2

x = 10

y =10√2

Explanation:

45° - 45° - 90° triangle:

The ratio of the sides of 45°- 45° - 90° triangle is a : a : a√2

The side opposite to angle 45° is a

a = 10

⇒ x = a

`\sf \boxed{\bf x = 10}`

The side opposite to 90° is a√2

y = a√2

= 10√2

`\sf \boxed{\bf y= 10√(2)}`
