Answer:
x = 5; y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
One angle is a right angle, so its measure is 90 degrees.
One angle measures 45 degrees, so the unknown angle must also measure 45 degrees.
x and y are opposite two 45-degree angles, so x = y.
In a 45-45-90 triangle, the ratio of the lengths of the sides is
1 : 1 : sqrt(2)
We have
x : y : 5sqrt(2)
x/1 = 5sqrt(2)/sqrt(2)
x = 5
y = 5
