Answer:

#2: x = 64 y = 32
√(3)

#3: x = 6
√(2) y = 6
√(2)

Or, if you are supposed to write your answers in decimal form instead:

#2: x = 64 y = 55.43

#3: x = 8.49 y = 8.49

Explanation:

Special right triangles have specific angle measurements that tell you the lengths of each side. I attached an image that explains the rules of different special right triangles in case you need it :)

#2 is a 30-60-90 triangle. This means that x (the side opposite the 90° angle) is two times the length of the shortest side (32×2), and y is equal to 32
√(3).

#3 is a 45-45-90 triangle. This means that x (the side opposite the 45° angle) is equal to y (the side opposite the other 45° angle). The hypotenuse, 12, is x
√(2) (or y
√(2), since x = y). This means 12 = x
√(2)
