Answer:When x=16 , y=36 . Explanation: If y varies directly as x , then if y increases, x increases, and if y decreases, x decreases.
Step-by-step explanation: because
Double angle (or half angle, depending how you look at it) identities:



So we have



Note that when taking the square root, we should take into account that that could yield two possible solutions, but we know
and
, so it's also the case that
.
Also, the reason we have equality in the last step can be explained like so:

(not unlike the process used to complete the square)
