Because they're working with line current in the solution. They have to drop out of the line to line voltage and go to a phase voltage in order to do a voltage sum on the line.
They convert the line-to-line voltage to a phase voltage, add the phase current x impedance voltage value, and then go back to line-to-line at the end by multiplying by sqrt(3).
But when they convert the line-line voltage to a phase voltage, in delta those two have the same value. I took it as if the line current given already had the sqrt 3 built in, meaning the phase current was (70 angle -20)/sqrt3. Still not getting it. How can the 12.5 kV in that delta config be divided by sqrt 3? there's no neutral to take care of the lower voltage.Because they're working with line current in the solution.

For a balanced system, the load configuration (delta or wye) doesn't matter. In a balanced wye, since the current in the neutral is zero, you can remove the neutral conductor and the system will still work just fine. Just because there's no neutral conductor, doesn't mean there isn't a point in space that is at neutral potential to the three phases.But when they convert the line-line voltage to a phase voltage, in delta those two have the same value.
