pythagorean theorem
x^2 + rt2^2 = y^2
sin 45 = rt2/y = x/y

x/sin 45 = rt2/sin 45

for a right triangle with equal angles  the sides are equal  so x = rt2

triciaal · Answer

rt2^2 + rt2^2 = y^2
2*rt2^2= y^2
rt2^2 = 2
so 2*2 = y^2
4 = y^2    y = 2

You can notice its a 45-45-90 triangle and also an isosceles triangle.

So x would also equal sqrt 2

And you can easily solve for y using the pythagoreom theorem
(Sqrt 2)^2 + (sqrt 2)^2=y^2
2+2=y^2
4=y^2
Then square root both sides to find y
So y=2
