Question

Please help. Find the two missing sides and write your answer as in simplified radical form.

Answer 1

x and y = 5√2.

Explanation:

This is a 45:45:90 triangle so length of x = length of y.

In this triangle the ratio of the sides is 1:1:√2

Finding length of x and y:

1/√2 = x/10

√2x = 10

x = 10/√2

= 10√2/2

= 5√2.
