Question

Find h.(Type your answer in simplest radical form)

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

(x, y) = (8, 2)

Explanation:

Using the geometric mean rules for this geometry, we have ...

h = √(4·32) = 8√2

and also ...

a = √(4·36) = 12

b = √(32·36) = 24√2

For the problem at hand, ...

h = 8√2 = x√y ⇒ x = 8, y = 2
