The line "Y" is a red herring. Ignore it.

What you have is a 30-60-90 triangle.

anonymous · Answer

Look at my diagram and relate the relations you see to your diagram.

"a" on my diagram is "x" on your diagram.

The longest side of a right triangle is the hypotenuse.
On a 30-60-90 triangle, the hypotenuse is twice the size of the shortest side.
On my triangle, "a" is the shortest side, and my hypotenuse is twice as long as that, which is "2a"
On your triangle, "x" is the shortest side, and your hypotenuse is twice as long as that.
