It's my last question!

I'd start by writing out the quadratic equation for the three different triangles in the picture, then solve for x or y and set them equal to each other.

I had already set it all up and I got C. But, i'm not quite sure if i'm precise.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = 6; y = 2√6 That would be it right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Check it by plugging it back into the quadratic equation for the triangle PSQ -- a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B!

Do those values also work for triangle PQR (I haven't calculated it).
