Question
- find the missing variables.
- find the missing variables.
Step1: Identify the triangle type
This is a \(45^{\circ}-45^{\circ}-90^{\circ}\) triangle. In a \(45^{\circ}-45^{\circ}-90^{\circ}\) triangle, the legs are equal (\(x = y\)), and the hypotenuse \(c\) is related to the leg \(a\) by the formula \(c=a\sqrt{2}\).
Step2: Solve for \(x\) and \(y\) in the first triangle
Given \(c = 2\sqrt{14}\). Using \(c=a\sqrt{2}\), we have \(2\sqrt{14}=x\sqrt{2}\).
Solve for \(x\):
Since \(x = y\), \(y = 2\sqrt{7}\)
Step3: Solve for \(x\) and \(y\) in the second triangle
Given one leg \(a=\sqrt{10}\). Using \(c=a\sqrt{2}\), \(y=\sqrt{10}\times\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{20} = 2\sqrt{5}\). And since \(x\) is the other leg (in a \(45 - 45-90\) triangle legs are equal), \(x=\sqrt{10}\)
