Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

• x = 9
• y = 9√2

Explanation:

Side lengths in an isosceles right triangle have the reduced ratios ...

1 : 1 : √2

Yours have the ratios ...

9 : x : y

If you multiply the reduced ratios by 9, you can find the values of x and y.

9 : 9 : 9√2 = 9 : x : y

x = 9

y = 9√2
