Answer:

D) x=6√3, y=3√3

Explanation:

Given both triangles are 30-60-90 triangles, this means that the length of y will be 9/√3=√81/√3=√(81/3)=√27=3√3

This also means that x will be twice the length of y which means x=2y=2(3√3)=6√3

This means that the correct answer is D) x=6√3, y=3√3

Refer to the diagram below to understand where I got these lengths.
