Question

Find the value for the given variables. Give the variables in simplest radical form. (square root form)

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 16, y = $16\sqrt{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Because that triangle has a 60 degree angle, it is an semi-equilateral triangle.

In a semi-equilateral triangle:

The small side, in this case, x = hypotenuse / 2

The hypotenuse is 32, divide it by 2, and it's 16.

x = 16

In a semi-equilateral triangle:

The large side, in this case, y = small side $\sqrt{3}$

We already stated that the small side is 16, so the large one is just 16$\sqrt{3}$

Easy!
