How do I find the missing sides on this special triangle?

x = 6

y =

Step-by-step explanation:

Thats a 45 45 90 triangle, one of my favorite and you'll come to miss it later because of how easy it is.

See the file provided for the trick

Because falls where a 1 is in the diagram that means y is also because you multiply by 1, and to get x you'll multiply the value we're given, , by the value in the spot in the given diagram, .

×

Note; a radical multiplied by itself is the value in the radical

Therefore,

× = 3(2) = 6

Thus x = 6

The explanation for this;

* =

And if you square a square root you have its square root times its square root squared, which if it was it'd ultimately be which is 2x2 which equals 4
