Question

Algebra Find the value of y. Express in simplest radical form. Show work.

Answer 1

Given:

Here right angle triangle is given with two equal sides 8

Require:

We have to find the value of y

Step-by-step explanation:

In this sum

we have to use Pythagoras theorem

which is the addition of square of both side is equal to the square of hypotenuse

now here

`8^2+8^2=y^2`
`64+64=y^2`
`128=y^2`
`√(128)=y`
`8√(2)=y`

Final answer:

The value of y is

`y=8√(2)`
