Question

Solve for x, y, and z. Please hurry.

Answer 1

• x = 12√2, y = 12, z = 12√3

Explanation:

• Left side triangle is 45 degree and right side triangle is 30-60-90 degree

45 degree triangle:

• a = b, c = a√2

30-60-90 degree triangle:

• a : b : c = 1 : √3 : 2

Side opposite to 30° angle is half the hypotenuse, this side is same as y:

• y = 1/2*24 = 12

Hypotenuse of 45° triangle is √2 time the side:

• x = 12√2

Back to 30°-60°-90° triangle:

• z = 12√3
