Answer:

x =8

y = 4sqrt(2)

z = 4sqrt(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest one to calculate is x

If it is a 45 -45-90 degree triangle then AB = BC=x

Since AB =8  then BC =8  and x=8

The next easiest to calculate is z

If it is a 45 -45-90 degree triangle then AD = BD=z

Using the Pythagorean theorem

z^2 +z^2 = 8^2

2z^2 =64

Divide by 2

x^2 = 32

Taking the square root of each side

z = sqrt(16)sqrt(2)

z=4sqrt(2)

Finally, we can find y

If it is a 45 -45-90 degree triangle then BD = DC

BD =z =4 sqrt(2) = DC = y

Therefore y =4 sqrt(2)
