Question

Find the value of x in the right triangle

Answer 1

Answer: X= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Based off of the $\sqrt{3}$ on the longer leg of the triangle we can assume this is a 30, 60, 90 right triangle.  In a 30, 60, 90 triangle, the hypotenuse is 2X the shorter leg.  So to find x we can set up this equation.

$(hypotenuse) = (short leg) x2\\(6x-8) = (2x)\\-6x -6x\\-8=-4x\\2=x$
