Question

Find the value of each variable x = y=

Answer 1

Answer:

x=9

y=$9\sqrt{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a special type of triangle known as a 45-45-90 triangle.

The ratio for the sides of this triangle are x:x:x$\sqrt{2}$

Meaning that the two sides other than the hypotenuse are equal, so in this triangle x=9 because it is not a hypotenuse.

The hypotenuse, however, is the value of one side multiplied by $\sqrt{2}$.

In this case it is 9, so 9*$\sqrt{2}$ = $9\sqrt{2}$
