Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Other than using the plain special aspect of a 45-45-90 triangle where the legs are x, x, and x√2, you can solve for this.

Since the two legs have equal length, they are both x. Using the pythagorean theorem:

(x^2)+(x^2)=50 (Because 5 squared is 25 and √2 squared is 2, multiplying them gives you 50).

You can add (x^2) and (x^2) because they are the same terms (x squared).

Simplifying like so gives you:

2x^2=50

Dividing by two on both sides:

x^2=25

Taking the square root of both sides:

x=5

First you subtract 1/3 from both sides, that leaves you with 5/12, then you multiply the reciprocal of 1/2 by both sides, which is 2, which gives you 5/6. Therefore, K>5/6

<h3>Answer: Angle Q = 133 degrees</h3>

========================================================

Work Shown:

Recall that for any triangle, the three angles always add to 180

P+Q+R = 180

(x+13) + (10x+13) + (2x-2) = 180

(x+10x+2x) + (13+13-2) = 180

13x+24 = 180

13x = 180-24

13x = 156

x = 156/13

x = 12

Now that we know x, we can find the angle measures

  • angle P = x+13 = 12+13 = 25 degrees
  • angle Q = 10x+13 = 10*12+13 = 120+13 = 133 degrees
  • angle R = 2x-2 = 2*12-2 = 24-2 = 22 degrees

As a way to check if we have the right answer or not, we see that,

P+Q+R = 25+133+22 = 180

So the answer is confirmed.
