Question

What is the value of y?
O 2/3 units
O 4 units
O 4/3 units
O 8 units

Answer 1

Answer: 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

y = 4
`√(3)`

Explanation:

Using the altitude- on- hypotenuse theorem

( leg of large Δ )² = ( part of hypotenuse below it ) × ( whole hypotenuse )

y² = 6 × (6 + 2) = 6 × 8 = 48 ( take the square root of both sides )

y =
`√(48)`

=
`√(16(3))` =
`√(16)` ×
`√(3)` = 4
`√(3)`
