Typical 30 - 60 -90 degree triangle :)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Using the given proportions, you can solve for x.

OpenStudy (tootsi123):

In the drawing you sent that hypotenuse is 2A and then the short leg is A and the long leg is A squareroot 3. Am i right so far?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes. These are just the proportions. In your case do you see why your triangle has the same degree measures? What is the A in your triangle?

OpenStudy (tootsi123):

Eight is my short side.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yeah :)) So x=?

OpenStudy (tootsi123):

16. okay than you :).

OpenStudy (tootsi123):

What about y how would i find that. Would it be like 64 + 256 =320 and then the square root of 320?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Yeah, x is 16. Good work !

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

For y, I am going to give you an example. |dw:1399983063231:dw|
