Solve for x and y
1 answer:
Answer:
x = 2√2
y = 2√6
Step-by-step explanation:
Consider the ratio of the two legs of the two smaller interior right triangles. (refer to attached diagrams for the triangles - I have outlined one in blue and the other in red)
These will be equal since the triangles are similar
shorter leg : longer leg
(blue triangle = red triangle)
⇒ x : 4 = 2 : x
⇒ x/4 = 2/x
⇒ x² = 8
⇒ x = √8
⇒ x = 2√2
Now we have x, we have the two legs of the right triangle with hypotenuse labelled y.
Using Pythagoras' Theorem a² + b² = c² (where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse)
⇒ 4² + (2√2)² = y²
⇒ y² = 24
⇒ y = √24
⇒ y = 2√6

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The only graph shown in the question doesn't have amplitude 1/2. look for a graph of a periodic wave function that has maximum y-value 1/2 (0.5) and minimum y-value 1/2 (0.5), or if it is not oscillating around the x-axis, verifies that the distance between minimum y-value and maximum y-value is "1" (one). This is because the amplitude is half of the peak-to-peak distance.
Look at the attached image as example.
