Homework Equations
[/B]I don’t think that the inner triangle is the 30-60-90 triangle so we can't use the eq of 30-60-90 triangle. However we can use the pythagorous formula to determine the length of hypotnuse of inner triangle. Let X be the other end of hypotenuse of inner triangle:
(40)2+ (24)2 = XP2
So XP = 46.64
