5 would have to be the constant, because in algebraic terms, a constant is a term that contains only numbers and no variables, which would knock 2x right out of the question. Hope I helped.
The answer would be ( V and Y )and (W and X )
hope this helps (((:
Using the Pythagorean theorem 4 would be the height and 8 would be the hypotenuse, you need to find the base
4^2 + X^2 = 8^2
16 x x^2 = 64
x^2 = 64-16
x^2 = 48
x = sqrt(48) = 6.92 feet ( round answer as needed )
