Answer:

y = 6

Explanation:

This is a special right triangle with angle measures 90° 60° 30°

the side length that sees angle measure 30 is represented with x

the side length that sees angle measure 90 is represented with 2x

and the side length that sees angle measure 60 is represented with x√3

the side length that sees angle measure 90 is given as 4√3 which means 2x = 4√3 divide both sides by 2

x = 2√3 now to find y, we need to multiply this value by √3

2√3 × √3 = 2 × 3
