and take the square root of both sides
\[\Large x = \sqrt{72}\]
\[\Large x = 6\sqrt{2}\]

now we hav to find z and y
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
to find y, solve the equation
\[\Large y\sqrt{3} = 12\]
for y
\[\Large y\sqrt{3} = 12\]
\[\Large y = \frac{12}{\sqrt{3}}\]
\[\Large y = \frac{12\sqrt{3}}{3}\]
\[\Large y = 4\sqrt{3}\]
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
I'll let you do the last part. To find z, solve
\[\Large a^2 + b^2 = c^2\]
\[\Large 12^2 + (4\sqrt{3})^2 = z^2\]
for z
