Answer:

12

Explanation:

First, to find the side of the first triangle, divide by the square root of 3. so 6
/√(3). Which is 2 radical(Square root) 3. To get the final side of the triangle, multiply
2√(3) by 2 which gets you to
4√(3). To find X, multiply
4√(3) by
√(3) which equals 12. The ratio to follow for 30, 60, 90 triangles is
1:√(3):2. the first being the short side, the second being the long side, and the third the hypotenuse.


6/√(3) = 2 √(3)


(2√(3) )(2)
=4√(3)


(4√(3) )(√(3) )=12
