Answer 2

\[x=4\]

Answer 3

\[y=4\sqrt{3}\]

Answer 4

Can you tell me how you got those two answers ?

Answer 5

the formula is SL (short leg) is x and H is the hypotenuse \[SL=\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }H\]

Answer 6

The formula is LL (long leg) is y and H is the hypotenuse \[LL=\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }H \sqrt{3}\]

Answer 7

Those are the formulas I used and these formulas only apply to 30-60-90 triangles
