Answer:
x = 14
y = 14
z= 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that the top triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle and the triangle below is a 30-60-90 triangle.
Using the fact that the top triangle is a 45-45-90 triangle and also an isosceles triangle, we can see that <em>x</em> will be the same as its respective leg, 14
Now, we must find a side length of the bottom triangle. We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the third side of the top triangle, which is also a side of the bottom triangle. We can find that the third side must be 28. We can now use this to find the other sides of the bottom triangle.
Since <em>y</em> is opposite to the 30 degree angle, it is half of the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse which we found earlier is 28, therefore, <em>y</em> is 14. <em>z </em>is then 14
using either Pythagorean Theorem or special right triangle properties for 30-60-90.
51(x - 21) = x + 58
<em><u>Distributive property</u></em>
51x - 1071 = x + 58
<em><u>Subtract x from both sides</u></em>
50x - 1071 = 58
<em><u>Add 1071 to both sides</u></em>
50x = 1129
<em><u>Divide both sides by 50</u></em>
x = 22.58
Answer: 6.5
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Cross multiply: 118(z) = 13(59)
z = 
= 6.5
