Verified Answer :

I dont know the answer becouse im not there but i can show you how to get the answer..

you know the rulers the are half way cut?use that and measure each angle

(i hope i helped!)

x^2 = 6^2 + 17^2
x^2 = 36 + 289
x^2 = 325
x =



18.0277563773





1/2 Vertex angle = arc tan (6/17)
1/2 Vertex angle = arc tan (0.3529411765



)
1/2 Vertex angle = 19.44 Degrees

So, the other "half of the vertex angle = 90 - 19.44 degrees = 70.56

cosine (70.56) = 17 / z
z = 17 / cosine (70.56)
z = 17 / 0.33282
z =



51.0786611382





half of y^2 =



51.0786611382^2 - 17^2
half of y^2 =



2609.0296236711



-289
half of y^2 =



2,320.03




half of y = 48.1666858282




y = 48.1666858282

  • 6
    y = 48.1666858282

    wow - lots of work!!
