Since the triangle has two right angles, it is not a valid triangle as the angles of a triangle always add up to 180 degrees. However, we can still solve for x and y using the given information.
For the first right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem:
x^2 = 60^2 + (11/100)*x^2
(89/100)*x^2 = 3600
x^2 = (3600*100)/89
x ≈ 67.66 cm
For the second right triangle, we can again use the Pythagorean theorem:
y^2 = 60^2 + 32^2
y^2 = 3600 + 1024
y ≈ 66.94 cm
Therefore, the approximate values of x and y are 67.66 cm and 66.94 cm, respectively.
A triangle has two right angles one side the length is 60cm and the hypotenuse is x and the fraction of the base is 11 the other right angle has a length of 60cm the hypotenuse is y and the base is 32
