bottom

Answer 4

I think it involves x over four next to six over x. Like x^2 = 4*6 something like that.
Sorry i forgot most of Geometry lol.

Answer 5

Similar triangle theorems should work out here. There are more specific theorems for "altitude-to-the-base", but I think the actual idea behind them is just a little stronger than the particular theorems that you just accept.

Notice these triangles in the figure. These are two similar triangles since they have two congruent angles in common -- the right angle and the shared angle.



As you may know, the sides in a set of similar triangles are in a ratio / proportional.

If you set up an equation between two of the side ratios (the side between the congruent angles, and the hypotenuse of each), you should be able to solve for the positive x.
