Answer:

Below in bold.

Explanation:

1. This is an isosceles right angled triangle.

x = y.

The ratio of the sides in this triangle are 1:1:√2

So 1/√2 = x / 7√2

√2 x = 7√2

x = 7.

y = 7.

The other 3 are solved in a similar way as they are all isosceles right angled triangles:

2. b = 6 and a = 6√2.

3. 1 / √2 = x / 6√3

√2 x = 6√3

x = 6√3 / √2

x = 6√3 * √2 / 2

= 3√6

y = 3√6.

4. x = y = 9.
