Answer: y = 9sqrt(3)

"sqrt" is shorthand for "square root". If you need x as well, it is x = 18

=============================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a 30-60-90 triangle. The hypotenuse is twice that of the short leg, so the hypotenuse is x = 2*9 = 18 units.

The long leg is sqrt(3) times the short leg, so y = 9sqrt(3)

You could use the trig ratios (sine, cosine, tangent) to help find these values.

  • [Right Triangles Only] tanθ = opposite over adjacent

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify variables

Angle θ = 30°

Opposite Leg = 9

Adjacent Leg = y

Step 2: Solve for y

  1. Substitute in variables [Tangent]:
    \displaystyle tan(30^\circ) = (9)/(y)
  2. [Multiplication Property of Equality] Cross-multiply:
    \displaystyle y = (9)/(tan(30^\circ))
  3. Evaluate:
    \displaystyle y = 9√(3)
