Answer:

Explanation:

y is the value obtained from 4 and 12

y^2 = 4 * 12 Combine

y^2 = 48 Square root both sides.

√y^2 = √48

y = √(3 * 4 * 4)

y = 4√3

Use the Pythagorean Theorem to obtain x

x^2 = y^2 + 4^2

x^2 = 48 + 16

x^2 = 64 Take the square root of both sides

√x^2 = √64

x = 8

Answer

  • x = 8
  • y = 4√3
