Step-by-step explanation:
by using similarity and enlargement
10/8 = 7+y/7
70=56+8y
8y=14
y= 7/4
10/8 = 5+x/5
50=40+8x
x = 8/10 = 4/5
Answer: angle 2 is supplementary to angle 1
The triangle is an isosceles triangle with exactly two congruent angles.
Since the two 45-deg angles are congruent, their opposite sides are also congruent. That makes y = 5.
This triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle. In a 45-45-90 triangle, the legs are congruent and the hypotenuse is sqrt(2) times the length of the legs.
The hypotenuse has length x, so x = 5 * sqrt(2) = 5sqrt(2)
Answer: B. x = 5sqrt(2), y = 5
