I’m so sorry but I don’t have a clue! But you’ll get it eventually
In a 30 - 60 - 90 triangle the side opposite the hypotenuse is 1/2 the hypotenuse and which will be the shorter side. Read this over a couple of times till you realize that (x + 12)/2 is the shortest side.
[(x + 12) / 2]^2 + x^2 = (x + 12)^2 subtract [(x + 12)/2]^2 from both sides.
x^2 = (x +12)^2 - [ (x +12)/2]^2
x^2 = (x + 12)^2 [ 1 - (1/2)^2] You were given this as a question in school? It seems awfully hard.
x^2 = (x + 12)^2 [3/4]
4x^2 = 3*(x^2 + 24x + 144)
4x^2 = 3x^2 + 72x + 432
x^2 - 72x - 432 = 0 This is a quadratic, do you know what they are?
The solution to this comes to x = 77.56
I don't think I made a mistake, but it is sure possible.Check the numbers and my method.

Answer:
42 ounces of yellow paint.
Step-by-step explanation:
- To make three cups of dark orange, you just need to remember that to make one cup you need: 7 ounces of red paint and 1 ounce of yellow paint. Then, to make three cups, we just have to multiply these proportions by three,which means 7x3 ounces of red paint =21 ounces of red paint, plus 3x1 ounces of yellow paint =3 ounces of yellow paint. Then we need 21 ounces of red paint and 3 of yellow paint to make three cups of dark orange.
- To make one cup of light orange, we need 13 ounces of yellow paint, and 3 ounces of red paint. Then, to make three cups, we just multiply this proportion by 3, as follows: 13x3 ounces of yellow paint = 39; and 3x3 ounces of red paint =9. Then we need 9 ounces of red paint and 39 of yellow paint to make three cups of light orange.
- Adding up the amount of ounces we need to make dark orange and light orange, we get a total amount of 21+9=30 ounces of red paint and 3+39=42 ounces of yellow paint to make three cups of light orange and three cups of dark orange.
