Question

What is the value of y?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A $45^\circ - 45^\circ - 90^\circ$ triangle is special -- it's a square cut in half diagonally.

The legs (sides that form the 90 degree angle) are both equal.

The hypotenuse is the leg multiplied by the square root of 2.

$\text{hypotenuse}=\text{side}\sqrt{2}$

So $x=24\sqrt{2} \approx 33.9$
