Given the tringle below
determine the value of x.
Im not sure how to solve this since there are no other values to use other then x and y

Respuesta :

I think the question is then unsolvable because it doesn’t have and side lengths to use to solve

Currently there is not enough information, however, for any 30-60-90 triangle (which I'm assuming this is) we can say

long leg = (short leg)*sqrt(3)

y = x*sqrt(3)

The short leg of a 30-60-90 triangle is always opposite the smallest angle (30 degrees).
