Answer:

\huge\boxed{a=\dfrac{16}{3}=5\dfrac{1}{3}}

Step-by-step explanation:

\triangle ZYW\sim\triangle WYX\ (AAA)\\\\\text{Therefore corresponding sides are in proportion}\\\\\dfrac{YX}{YW}=\dfrac{YW}{ZY}\\\\\text{substitute}\\\\YX=a;\ YW=4;\ ZY=3\\\\\dfrac{a}{4}=\dfrac{4}{3}\qquad\text{multiply both sides by 4}\\\\4\cdot\dfrac{a}{4}=4\cdot\dfrac{4}{3}\qquad\text{cancel 4}\\\\a=\dfrac{16}{3}

Please help me it’s due right now?!?! <br> Find the missing side of each triangle.
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

x = 2√5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Pythagorean Theorem:

a² + b² = c²

You can identify that x is the hypotenuse, as it is opposite to the right angle.

So:

3² + √11² = x²

9 + [(√11) (√11)] = x²

9 + 11 = x²

20 = x²

√20 = √x²

√4√5 = x

2√5 = x

x = 2√5
