Find the values of x and y in the picture. Express answers in simplest radical form. (square root form)

Answers:

x = 8

y = 15*sqrt(2)

Explanation:

This is a 45-45-90 triangle. The right triangle is isosceles.

This means the two legs 3x-9 and x+7 are the same length

3x-9 = x+7

3x-x = 7+9

2x = 16

x = 16/2

x = 8

If x = 8, then each leg is...

3x-9 = 3(8)-9 = 24-9 = 15

x+7 = 8+7 = 15

Each leg is 15 units long to help confirm we have the correct x value.

The hypotenuse y is exactly sqrt(2) times that of the leg length.

Therefore, y = 15*sqrt(2) since earlier we found each leg is 15 units long.

15*sqrt(2) = 21.213 approximately

m a t h w a y. c o m

step-by-step explanation:

answer rather than having to add and subtract the measurements of the semi-circle, notice that the semicircle to the left of ad is actually identical in area to the blank semicircle-shaped space to the left of bc. so if we transferred the red semicircle into the blank space, we would end up with a square of side length 24 cm. the area of a square is s^2 = 24^2 = 676 cm^2.

u also answered this so i think u would know but i am here to

put in or use mine
