So we have a triangle, a, b, c, here's a, here's b, that's 10 squares of 3, and this is 20, which means we can find this side here using the pythagorean theorem.
00:12
Y squared plus 10 squared to 3 squared equals 20 squared.
00:17
So it's going to be y squared equals 100 times 3, which is 300.
00:23
That's going to equal to 400.
00:25
So y squared equals to 100.
00:28
Y is going to equal to 10.
00:30
Now we're going to construct another equilateral triangle, which means each one of these is 10 squares of 3, and we want to know the distance from c to d this point.
00:41
Well, this is a right angle.
00:43
Since that's equilateral, that's 60.
00:45
So we're looking at 150 degree angle, and we can use the law of cosines.
00:51
So i already know that's going to be the cd squared.
00:56
It's going to equal...
