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

Alja [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter = 2*(length + width)

53 m = 2*(2.3 m +w) . . . . an equation to find the width, w

26.5 m = 2.3 m +w . . . . . divide by 2

24.2 m = w . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2.3 m

The width of the rectangle is 24.2 m
