Answer 6

ok so what do you mean by everything else?

Answer 7

i know how to solve for x once i have the triangle set up. i just don't remember the equation for a 45-90 triangle.

Answer 8

There isn't enough information to know what \(x\) is. You need the measure of one side at least.

Answer 9

you need some other number

Answer 10

if you know the other leg, then your \(x\) is the same
if you know the hypotenuse, divide it by \(\sqrt2\)

Answer 11

so then what about this?

Answer 12

girl this is too hard! ask your teacher for help

Answer 13

the triangle on the right gives you \(x\)

Answer 14

in a 30 - 60 - 90 triangle, the short leg is half the hypotenuse

Answer 15

now we can start filling stuff in
