Question

Please help me solve the problem

Answer 1

Answer:

x = $\sqrt{2}$  ; y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

You have a 45 -45 - 90 triangle.  There are two things to know"

1. The hypothenuse = leg × $\sqrt{2}$

2. The legs are equal.

The hypothenuse is opposite the right angle that is "y" in this problem.

Hypothenuse = leg × $\sqrt{2}$

                       = $\sqrt{2} \sqrt{2} = \sqrt{4} = 2$

The legs are =

Therefore x = $\sqrt{2}$
