Answer:

x = 5; y = 5

Explanation:

One angle is a right angle, so its measure is 90 degrees.

One angle measures 45 degrees, so the unknown angle must also measure 45 degrees.

x and y are opposite two 45-degree angles, so x = y.

In a 45-45-90 triangle, the ratio of the lengths of the sides is

1 : 1 : sqrt(2)

We have

x : y : 5sqrt(2)

x/1 = 5sqrt(2)/sqrt(2)

x = 5

y = 5
