Answer:
Both legs would be 20
Step-by-step explanation:
In the image below, it shows the relationship between the legs and the hypotenuse in every 45 45 90 triangle. If we know that the hypotenuse is 20, then the 2 legs are both 20.
I am slightly confused with the problem since they asked for the "short" leg and the "long" leg. Both legs should be the same length because a 45 45 90 triangle is isosceles, with the two legs being the same length.

Answer:
x = 6
<u><em>Sorry if this answer is not correct, if it is or is not, please tell me in the comments!</em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
All of the angles add up to 180 degrees (since it is a triangle), so
(11x - 3) + (7x + 5) + (13x - 8) = 180
Then, combine the like terms.
31x - 6 = 180
Now, out goal is to separate the x from everything. To do that, we need to add 6 to 180.
31x = 186
Then divide by 31.
x = 6
(Feel free to replace x with 6 back in the previous equation to double check it!)
