Answer:

x=15√2 y=90 degrees.

Explanation:

Thanks to the Pythagorean Theorem we know that with any right triangle, A^2+B^2=C^2. In this case we can use 15^2+15^2=sqrt of 450. The square root of 450 is 15 times the square root of 2. Thus x=15√2. Now we need to find y. All angles in a triangle add up to 180 so if we have 45+45+y=180 then y=90.
