Answer:

8 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

The smaller of the right triangles formed is similar to the whole triangle so

4/x = x/16   where  x = the shorter leg

x^2 = 64

x = 8.

Answer:

4√(xy³)

Step-by-step explanation:

8√(x²y⁶)

The above expression can be simplified as follow:

8√(x²y⁶)

Recall:

m√a = a^1/m

Therefore,

8√(x²y⁶) = (x²y⁶)^1/8

Recall:

(aⁿ)^1/m = a^(n/m)

Therefore,

(x²y⁶)^1/8 = x^(2/8)•y^(6/8)

= x^1/4•y^3/4

= (xy³)^1/4

Recall :

a^1/m = m√a

Therefore,

(xy³)^1/4 = 4√(xy³)

Therefore,

8√(x²y⁶) = 4√(xy³)
