ACT Question: Special Right Triangle problem help?

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

the correct answer is 6

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

how is it 6?

geerky42 (geerky42):

YOu are corect

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

I thought it was 4 but in the answer key it says it is 6

geerky42 (geerky42):

y = 2√3, so z = 2(√3)(√3) = 2*3 = 6

geerky42 (geerky42):

If you want to find the value of z, you multiply y by √3. You get y from dividing 4√3 by 2 Is that clear?

OpenStudy (fanduekisses):

oooohh yeah idk why I was thinking that the other triangle was 45 45 90 lol

geerky42 (geerky42):

hah ok you are welcome
