Hi!
y = 16
x = 32
<h3 /><h3>
In 30-60-90 triangles, the hypotenuse is double the length of the shortest leg, and the longer leg is 
times the shorter leg.</h3>
We are given the longest leg. To find the shortest leg, we must divide the longest leg value by
The radicals cancel out and we are left with 16.
The length of y (the shortest leg) is 16.
Now, we also know that the hypotenuse is double the shortest leg. The shortest leg is 16, so if we double that, it's 32.
Answer:
5 parts are shaded and 4 parts are white so:
There are 9 parts all together.
We can then form ratio's of the white areas and the shaded areas:
White Area Ratio =
Shaded Area Ratio =
Let the area of sqaure be equated to x, which means let the entire area of the square equal to x:
x = Area of whole square
Now we can form an equation :
So now we just need to solve for x:
The area of the square is:
If you need part A, draw a person and label them 6 feet tall and a shadow coming off of him that is five feet long and draw a basketball hoop that and label it X feet tall and draw a shadow coming from it that is 8 feet long. To solve, you use proportions 6/5=X/8 solving this you get X=9.6 feet which is the height of the rim. Therefore, the rim does not meet regulation height, since the required height (10 feet) is greater than the actual height (9.6 feet).
The answer is 15 cm. Hope I could be of help! ; )
