Question

Please help me with number 4!

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 20√2 and y = 20√3.

or x = 28.28 and y = 34.64 to the nearest hundredths.

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the 2 'inside' triangles. They are similar.

So we have  x / (60-40) = 40 / x

x/ 20 = 40 /x

x^2 = 800

x = √800

x = 20√2

y = √(800 + 20^2)

= √(1200)

= 20√3.
