@jim_thompson5910 could you help again? D:

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

solve for x x/6 = 2.5/2 and solve for y 2.5/2 = 6.25/y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm still confused :(

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

does this help? x/6 = 2.5/2 2*x = 6*2.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is right angle tringle and using pythagorus theorem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So how to I find x and y because I'm still really confused :/ @luvvikrant93

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

2*x = 6*2.5 2*x = 15 x = ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u know this theorem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(h)2 = (b)2 +(p)2 ,u know this formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = 7.5? How do I find Y

@jim_thompson5910 @luvvikrant93

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

2.5/2 = 6.25/y 2.5y = 2*6.25 2.5y = 12.5 y = ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y2=(6.25)2+(2.5)2 =39.06+6.25 =45.31
