Question

Can someone help me with this please??

Answer 1

Answer:

z=20.8

x=16.97

y=12

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle on the right is a 30,60,90 triangle, a special right triangle with simple rules to find the side lengths. sides A,B, and C where C is the hypotenuse (24 in your diagram). The short side A is= 1/2 of side C (12 in your diagram). The long side B is= side A*√3 (20.8 in your diagram).

The triangle on the left is another special right triangle called a 45,45,90. The rules for this triangle are C= A*√2, and B=A. Because of the rules in the 30,60,90 triangle, we know that side A is 12. This means that side B (y)=12. Side C (x)= 16.97.

Hope this helped! Sorry if my explanation is confusing, but the rules for special right triangles can be easily found online and then calculated :)
