http://prntscr.com/abioyw Help with two questions (special triangles)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay can i look at them

OpenStudy (welshfella):

for the first one use the following special ( famous!) triangle |dw:1457191294180:dw|

OpenStudy (welshfella):

So if you know the value of x you can find the length of the longest side sqr2 x.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

This is the 45-45-90 triangle with 2 equal sides and angles 90, 45 and 45.

OpenStudy (kikuo):

How did you make that triangle out of the word problem? That confuses me a bit.

OpenStudy (kikuo):

Shouldn't the triangle look like x, x, 30? Why not?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

this triangle = half the square in the question and x = 30 |dw:1457192279676:dw|
