Question

Find the value of X and Y write your answer in simplest form does anyone know how to

Answer 1

Y=5 x=50

Explanation:

Okay, I'm gonna name this triangle XYZ.

An isosceles triangle is when two sides are equal. We know that an area of a triangle is always 180 degrees. A right triangle always has one degree of 90 degrees. We know that y∠45, x∠90, so z has to be 45 as well. We know this is a right isosceles triangle due to the angles it has given us.

Now, we know y and z are the same sizes. y=z

using the Pythagorean theorem

take a square root of sums of squares
`x=y^2+z^2`

`5^2=25`

25+25=50

Answer 2

5 = y

7.1 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

(There are so many ways we can solve this, let's solve this the easiest way):

Let's solve for y first =

We can say;

Tan(45) = y/5

Tan(45) * 5 = y

1 * 5 = y

5 = y

Now let's solve for x;

5² + y² = x²

5² + 5² = x²

25 + 25 = x²

50 = x²

`√(50\\)` = x

7.1 = x

Hope this helps!
