    Answer:

    x = 4

    y = 2√2

    Step-by-step explanation:

    This triangle can be recognized as a 45 - 45 - 90, right isosceles triangle. The hypotenuse in a right isosceles triangle is √2 times a leg. We can say:

    x = √2 * 2√2

    x = 4

    Since the triangle is isosceles, we can say the legs are equal, therefore:

    y = 2√2
