Answer: w=12, y=6√3

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the figure, we can split the triangle into 2 separate triangles. One on the left and one on the left. The triangle on the right is a 30-60-90 triangle. For this triangle, the hypotenuse is 2x in length. This is directly opposite of the right angle. The leg opposite to 30° is x in length. The leg opposite 60° is x√3 in length. Once you know the length of one side, you can plug in x to find the length of the other legs.

In this case, w and y are located on the same 30-60-90 triangle. Normally we would focus on that triangle to find our values, but in this instance, we don't have any values. We have to use the left triangle to find the leg that both triangles share.

The left triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle. For this triangle, the legs opposite of 45° is x in length. The hypotenuse is x√2. Since we know the hypotenuse, we can use it to find x.

x√2=8

x=8/√2

x=5.7 or 6       [Let's use 6 so that it is easier to work with a whole number]

Now that we know x, we can find w and y. Going back to the right triangle, we know the hypotenuse is 2x. We plug in 6 to find the length.

w=2x

w=2(6)

w=12

We know the leg opposite of 60° is x√3. We can plug in x.

y=6√3

Answer:

  2.48×10^13 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

There are about (365.25 days)(86400 seconds/day) = 31,557,600 seconds in one year. There are 1609.344 meters in one mile. So, the conversion can be written as ...

  (4.22 ly) (3×10^8 m/s) (3.15576×10^7 s/yr) / (1.609344×10^3 m/mi)

  = 4.22×3×3.15576/1.609344×10^(8+7-3) mi

  ≈ 24.8×10^12 mi

4.22 light years is about 2.48×10^13 miles

How do I prove that a quadrilateral is a rectangle?
maw [93]
I think you want to prove that a rectangle is a quadrilateral. You can prove this with definitions. The definition of a quadrilateral is that it is a shape with four sides. Since a rectangle has four sides, that proves that a rectangle is a quadrilateral.
