Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle and we are given an angle measure that measure 45, the other angle measure also measure 45.
So this means we are dealing with a 45-45-90 triangle.
A 45-45-90 triangle legs are equal to each other and the hypotenuse measures sqr root of 2 times more than the legs.
The hypotenuse measure 2 times sqr root of 14 so divide by sqr root of 2 to find x and y.
Since x and y are equal, they both measure
