What is the value for each variable?

OpenStudy (zehanz):

As it is a 45-45-90 triangle, the sides have lengths a : a : a*sqrt(2) Because you know that a * sqrt(2) = 15sqrt(2), you can work out x and y.

OpenStudy (zehanz):

Have you set a = 15? After this it is very easy...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a = 15? I haven't really done this before.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you show me each step?

OpenStudy (zehanz):

Because a=15, this is also the length of the to equal sides. So: y=15 and x=15. THere is nothing more to be done!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ahh okay. Thank you.

OpenStudy (zehanz):

YW!
