Question

What is the value of y?

Answer 1

Explanation:

A
`45^\circ - 45^\circ - 90^\circ` triangle is special -- it's a square cut in half diagonally.

The legs (sides that form the 90 degree angle) are both equal.

The hypotenuse is the leg multiplied by the square root of 2.

`\text{hypotenuse}=\text{side}√(2)`

So
`x=24√(2) \approx 33.9`
