Answer:

x = 8*root3

y = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use tangent and cosine of 60° to find x and y, BUT THERE'S A SHORTCUT. You pointed out that its a 30°-60°-90° triangle. That is a special right triangle. Here's the shortcut:

the longest side (hypotenuse) is double the shortest side. We have an 8 on the shortest side, so the hypotenuse (longest side) is 16. This ALWAYS works for 30°-60°-90° triangles!

Another shortcut:

The longer leg is the shorter leg × root3.

This ALWAYS works on 30°-60°-90° triangles.

So on your triangle, the short side is 8, that means the longer leg is 8×root3.

ta-daaaa!

The result of adding a complex number to its conjugate is “an integer/a pure imaginary number/a real number/a whole number” and
sineoko [7]

Answer:

If Z is a complex number:

Z = a + b*i

where a and b are real numbers, and i is an imaginary number.

Then "a" is the real part.

"b*i" is the imaginary part.

The conjugate of Z is:

Zc = a - b*i

So the sign of the imaginary part changes.

Then:

Sum:

Z + Zc = (a + bi) + (a - bi) = 2*a + 0 = 2*a

and remember that a is a real number, then 2*a is also a real numer.

The correct answer is "A real number".

Difference:

Z - Zc = (a + bi) - (a - bi) = 2b*i

and this is a pure imaginary number, so here the correct answer is: "a pure imaginary number"
