Question

Solve for x and y. Write any radical answers as "sqrt( )" or "squareroot( )".

Answer 1

x = 4 and y = 8

Explanation:

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

The side lengths are like the following :

The side length that sees 90 degrees is represented with a

The side length that sees 60 degrees is represented with a
`√(3)`

The side length that sees 30 degrees is represented with 2a

now, the angle measure that sees 60 degrees is given as 4
`√(3)` so we understand that a is = 4 that's how we find the value of x and y
