3(5x-4) =8x+2
15x -12 =8x+2
15x-8x =2+12
7x =14
x =14/7
x=2 (ans)
The value of a should be 2000. Hope this helps.
The 2 rooms only add up to 45,000 square feet (150 x 150 x 2) and the larger room is only 40,000 square feet (200 x 200) so this only gives you 85,000 square feet (40,000 + 45,000) which is not enough for the 100,000.
So for the 40-40-90 degree triangle, whenever the two legs are x values, then the hypotenuse is x value times the square root of 2.
--> a changed into a√2
√2 changed in √2 * √2
= 2
So the hypotenuse of the 40-40-90 degree triangle is 2.
Now for the 30-60-90 degree triangle, the smallest leg with the value of x is then changed to the value of x√3 if finding the longer leg.
-> a is changed to a√3
2 is changed into 2√3
So, y is 2√3 or approximately 3.46 units.
