Question

Solve for x and y
60°
у
Х
30°
73

Answer 1

x=7

y=14

Explanation:

this is a special 30-60-90 right triangle bc there is a right angle marker and a 60 degree and 30 degree angle

in 30-60-90 right triangles the short leg is x, the long leg is x√3, and the hypotenuse is 2x

it is given that the long leg is 7√3, and since the long leg equals x√3, then x equals 7

so the short leg, x, is 7 and since the hypotenuse is 2x, 2(7) =14
