Answer:
x = 36
y = 37.95
Step-by-step explanation:
By geometric mean property:
[tex] {12}^{2} = 4 \times x \\ \\ 144 = 4 \times x \\ \\ x = \frac{144}{4} \\ \\ x = 36 \\ \\ [/tex]
By Pythagoras Theorem:
[tex] {y}^{2} = {12}^{2} + {x}^{2} \\ \\ {y}^{2} = {12}^{2} + {36}^{2} \\ \\ {y}^{2} = 144 + 1296 \\ \\ {y}^{2} = 1440 \\ \\ y = \sqrt{1440} \\ \\ y = 37.95[/tex]
