What is the value of y? ​

9514 1404 393

  y = 8√3

Step-by-step explanation:

In the 30°-60°-90° "special" triangle, the ratio of sides lengths is ...

  1 : √3 : 2 = 8 : y : hypotenuse

In order for these ratios to be equal, we must have ...

  y = 8√3

__

If you want to solve this using your trig skills, you recognize that ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(30°) = 8/y

  y = 8/tan(30°) . . . . where tan(30°) = 1/√3

  y = 8√3

answer is the third choice:

3x^5+4x^4+x^3+2x^2-10x-7=0

step-by-step explanation:

c.   x=2.4cm

step-by-step explanation:

similar triangles are triangles which have the same shape but not the same size. this means their angle measures are equal but their side lengths are not instead they are proportional. to solve, we will set up a proportion and solve.

a proportion is two equal ratios set equal to each other. we form the ratios by finding corresponding sides (sides which match to each other on both triangles by their position). out ratios will be one side of the small triangle over the corresponding side on the big triangle as shown below:

.

to solve the proportion, we'll cross multiply by multiplying numerator with denominator across the equal sign.
