Question

Solve for X and Y in the triangle shown below. Use the special right triangle rule to give exact answers.

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = 13 \\ y = 13 \sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\cos(45) = \frac{13}{y} = \frac{ \sqrt{2} }{2} \\ y = \frac{26}{ \sqrt{2} } = 13 \sqrt{2} \\ x = 13 \\ because \: angles \: are \: equally \: 45$
