Answer:

Explanation:

First we can determine that this is a special 45-45-90 triangle, since the two legs are congruent, meaning the two unknown angles are congruent as well:

180 = 90 + 2(theta)

theta = 45

Knowing this, we can remember that the hypotenuse of this special triangle is equal to the leg*sqrt(2).

This means that 1 = x(sqrt(2)).


x=(1)/(√(2) )

Hope this helps!
