Question

Geometry help please? I will fan and medal!

Answer 1

Im working it out and then will walk you through the answer.

Answer 2

Okay, thank you

Answer 3

I got the answers for X on 1 and 2. I just need Y

Answer 4

Ok, lets start with what did you get for x?

Answer 5

On #1

Answer 6

I got 10

Answer 7

Good. Now do you know the rules for a 30, 60, 90 triangle?

Answer 8

Yes I do. I just can never figure out how to use them

Answer 9

Ok so Im going to use < to represent the sign that goes infront of the 3, not as a less than sign so don't get confused.
x<3
Fill in x with 10
10<3
So first lets find <3, what is that?

Answer 10

Round your answer to the hundredth place for simplicity

Answer 11

It's like the square root sign right?

Answer 12

Yeah. \[10\sqrt{3}\] sorry I'm new here so I didnt know how to use the equation thing

Answer 13

it's 1.73 so I multiply that by 10 right?

Answer 14

Exactly right! And whats your answer?

Answer 15

Correct!

Answer 16

Now for the second one, I am going to make a drawing, so it will take me a few

Answer 17

Okay!

Answer 18

You said you already had x. So here is how you got it correct?

Answer 19

Yes I got x=15

Answer 20

Good. Now, because the next one is a 45,45,90 triangle, and we are trying to work to the next 30,60,90 triangle, all we have to do is put the 15 on the other leg because they are the same length. We can ignore the hypotenuse. Then we use the same equation as before to find y.
