Answer:


x = 3√(2)


y = 6√(2)

Explanation:

The triangle is a 30-60-90 right triangle.

The ratio of the lengths of the sides is:


1 : √(3) : 2

The order of the sides in the ratio above is

short leg : long leg : hypotenuse

The long leg is sqrt(3) times the length of the short leg.


x * √(3) = 3√(6)


x = (3√(6))/(√(3))


x = 3 * \sqrt{(6)/(3)}


x = 3√(2)

The hypotenuse is twice the length of the short leg.


y = 2 * 3√(2)


y = 6√(2)
