Question

what is the value of x and y

Answer 1

\[x= 24\sqrt 3 :y=8\]
\[x=8: y= 24 \sqrt3\]
\[x=24:y=8 \sqrt 3 \]
\[x=8\sqrt 3 :y=24\]

Answer 2

We know that it is a 30, 60, 90 degree triangle. Triangles of this form always have sides equal to 1 (which is opposite 30 degrees), √3 (which is always opposite 60 degrees) and 2 which is the hypotenuse. Therefore, the triangle needs to have a ratio similar to this. x= 8√3 and y=24
