Answer:

x = 45

y = 45

z = 11.1

Explanation:

Remark

The triangle is a right triangle. That means that it has 1 right angle.

It is also isosceles which means that the two legs that are not the hypotenuse are equal.

Result: z and 11.1 are equal z = 11.1

More remark

If the triangle is isosceles, that means that the angles that are not right angles must also be equal.

90 + x + y = 180

but x = y

90 + 2x = 180 Subtract 90

2x = 180 - 90 Divide by 2

2x/2 = 90/2

x = 45
