John is 9 years older than sam and the product of their ages is 360. how old is sam? a. 15 years old b. 14 years old c. 17 years old d. 24 years old

y = 8

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a special right triangle with angle measures of 90 60 30 and the side lengths are represented by a - a√3 - 2a

The side length that sees angle measure 30 is a

The side length that sees angle measure 60 is a√3

The side length that sees angle measure 90 is 2a

if the side length that sees angle measure 60 is given as 4√3 then that means a = 4

so x = 4 and 2x = 8
