Answer:

a =12*sqrt(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

3.  The Pythagorean theorem states

a^2 + b^2 = c^2  where a  and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse

a^2 +21^2 = 27^2

a^2 +441 =729

Subtract 441 from each side

a^2 +441-441 = 729 -441

a^2 =288

Take the square root of each side

sqrt(a^2) = sqrt(288)

sqrt(xy) = sqrt(x)sqrt(y)

a = sqrt(144)sqrt(2)

a =12*sqrt(2)

Answer:

x = 24 , y = 19

Step-by-step explanation:

The opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent , then

2x - 8 = x + 16 ( subtract x from both sides )

x - 8 = 16 ( add 8 to both sides )

x = 24

and

2y = y + 19 ( subtract y from both sides )

y = 19
