In a 30 - 60 - 90 triangle the side opposite the hypotenuse is 1/2 the hypotenuse and which will be the shorter side. Read this over a couple of times till you realize that (x + 12)/2 is the shortest side.
[(x + 12) / 2]^2 + x^2 = (x + 12)^2 subtract [(x + 12)/2]^2 from both sides.
x^2 = (x +12)^2 - [ (x +12)/2]^2
x^2 = (x + 12)^2 [ 1 - (1/2)^2] You were given this as a question in school? It seems awfully hard.
x^2 = (x + 12)^2 [3/4]
4x^2 = 3*(x^2 + 24x + 144)
4x^2 = 3x^2 + 72x + 432
x^2 - 72x - 432 = 0 This is a quadratic, do you know what they are?
The solution to this comes to x = 77.56
I don't think I made a mistake, but it is sure possible.Check the numbers and my method.
48.
For the rectangle, 4x6 =24
For the triangle, area of the triangle is 1/2 x base x height. So, 24.
Add together is 48
6.4.. Unless you need it in a fraction..
