Question 429905: Please help me solve this trigonometry problem. I have to "Find the exact values of x and y." Please help me.
The problem is a 45-45-90 triangle and the two legs have values of 13 and i need to find the hypotenuse. I tried to work on it and I got: +y=+sqrt+%28+338+%29+. Im not sure if I am supposed to leave it like that or not. is that the final answer?

The problem is a 45-45-90 triangle and the two legs have values of 13 and i need to find the hypotenuse. I tried to work on it and I got:
----------
hypo^2 = 13^2 + 13^2
---
hypo = sqrt(2*13^2)
hypo = 13*sqrt(2)
