Answer:
C. x=24, y = 8√3
Step-by-step explanation:
The side ratios in a 30°-60°-90° right triangle are ...
... 1 : √3 : 2 = y : x : 16√3
The shortest side, y, is half the length of the longest, 16√3, so is 8√3.
The mid-length side, x, is √3 times the shortest side, so is 8(√3)(√3) = 24.
The solutions are x = 24, y = 8√3.
