Answer to Problem 6PSA

  → x= 7 ,  y= 63 

Explanation of Solution

Given information: In the given figure we have an equilateral triangle ΔHJK where  HJ = 15 , JK = 13y  - 6 , HK = x+ 8 

Concept used: Measurement of the all the sides of an equilateral triangle is equal.

Calculation: According to the given question we have:

   HJ = 15 , JK = 13y  - 6 , HK = x+ 8  , also ΔHJK is an equilateral triangle thus:

  HJ = JK = HK  15  = 13 y - 6  = x + 8

Or we can say:  HJ = JK and HJ = HK .................................................(i)

   15  = 13 y - 6 and   x + 8 = 15 .

Solving for y using HJ=JK

   13 y - 6 = 15 13 y = 15 + 6 13 y = 21 y = 63 .....................................................................(ii)

Solving for x using HJ=HK

  x + 8 = 15 x = 15 - 8 x = 7 ....................................................................(iii)

   From (ii) and (iii) we get :  x= 7 ,  y= 63 

Conclusion:

   x= 7 ,  y= 63
