Answer: x = 8 y = 8√2
Step-by-step explanation: If both angles are the same, 45° the sides are the same, so x = 8.
To find the hypotenuse, y, use the Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²
(In this question, c is y, and the x sides are a & b)
8² + 8² = y² Here you can add the squares 66 + 64 = 128 and calculate the square root of 128 OR
(8²)(2) = y² √(8²)(2) = √y²
8√2 = y
