Question

Find the missing side lengths.

Answer 1

Answer:

x is 18, and y is 9 √ 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle that contains a 30 degree angle, we know this is a special right triangle, and the missing angle is 60 degrees since a triangle is 180 degrees, and 180 - 90 - 30 = 60.

The relationship is listed below:

The side opposite of the 30 degrees can be represented as a variable, say "p", and the hypotenuse which is x in your question is twice this. The side opposite of the 60 degree angle is x + √3

So x is 18, and y is 9√3
