to
28

Answer 1

X = 45, Y = 14√2

Explanation:

We are given that the diagram is a square, and is cut in half using the length that is 28. Therefore x = 45

Now for y, we know that we have a 45 45 90 triangle with hypotenuse of 28, and the formula for that is the legs have length of x, and hypotenuse of x√2

y = x

=> 28 = x√2

x = 14√2

=> y = 14√2
