Trigonometry

Help with number 2 please

Answer 1

`x = 6`

`y=3√(2)`

Explanation:

So, this triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle.

This special triangle's values for the base and the height are equal, so y, the base, is equal to the height,
`3√(2)`.

The hypotenuse, x, is equal to the base or height, multiplied by
`√(2)`.

So,
`3√(2)` x
`√(2)` is equal to 3 x
`√(2)` x
`√(2)`.

`√(2)` x
`√(2)` is equal to 2.

Finally, 3 x 2 = 6

x = 6, y = 3√2
