Question

Special right triangles

Answer 1

Below!

Explanation:

We know that:

• x = √10 [This is because the angles, other than the right angle, are the same.]
• The angle, other than the base angles, is 45°

Using Pythagoras theorem, we can find y. Seek below for solution.

• => y² = (√10)² + (√10)²
• => y² = 10 + 10
• => y² = 20
• => y = √20
• => y = √4 x 5
• => y = 2√5

Hence, the answers are:

• x = √10
• y = 2√5

Hoped this helped.
