Find x.
between w and y
hahahahaha
ohhh lol i get sorry about that i had to upload the image after i posted the question sorry :P
I know; I just had to take the joke.
lolz :P
so im wondering if i should use like 2^2 + 6^2... or something... i dont really get it
nope need that too
so do i solve from the equation i just gave?
looks like by similar triangles \(\frac{x}{8}=\frac{2}{x}\)
is that x/6 = 2/x or did i read that wrong? its kinda tiny :P
on account of \(x\) is the short side of the large triangle, which has hypotenuse 8, and the hypotenuse of the small triangle, which has short side 2
\[\frac{x}{8}=\frac{2}{x}\]
oh okay thanks :) so it should be x^2/16
which is pretty convenient, since the first step in solving would be to "cross multiply" and get \[x^2=16\]
which would end up as 4 right?
yes
awesome! thanks a bunch :D
