I need help on a question that wants me to find x and y on a 45-45-90 triangle they only give me one side wich is three.I already solved for x which is three root two over two...Is that right?
I don't know how to solve for y...
Please someone help me....:(
Yes, you are correct in solving for x. In a 45-45-90 triangle, the two legs (x and y) are congruent, and the hypotenuse is equal to the length of one leg multiplied by the square root of 2.
To solve for y, we can use the fact that the two legs are congruent. Since you already found the value of x, which is 3√2/2, we know that y must also be equal to 3√2/2.
So, x = y = 3√2/2.
By substituting this value into both variables, you can find that both x and y are equal to 3√2/2.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
