Find the value of y.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Phoenix [80]3 years ago
4 0

\boxed{y=6\sqrt{3}}

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

For a better understanding of the problem I've built up two triangles from the given triangular shape. So these two triangles are similar. Therefore, we can solve this problem by using ratios and corresponding sides in this way:

\frac{x}{3}=\frac{12}{x} \\ \\ x^2=36 \\ \\ x=\sqrt{36} \\ \\ x=6

But our goal is to find y. Let's call w the height of the small triangle, then:

w=\sqrt{6^2-3^2}=3\sqrt{3}

Applying the concept of ratios again:

\frac{y}{w}=\frac{x}{3} \\ \\ y=w \left(\frac{x}{3}\right) \\ \\ y=3\sqrt{3}\left(\frac{6}{3}\right) \\ \\ \boxed{y=6\sqrt{3}}

Ok ignore the thing that says do it the way i sowed you in class
Mamont248 [21]
The way to do this question is : difference of the two sides < x < sum of the two sides. so for 1) 4 < x< 8
2) 8 < x< 16
3) 9 < x < 13
i’m pretty sure this is right! hope it helps!
