The Solution:

Given:

We are required to find the values of x and y.

Step 1:

Find the value of x.

Apply the Trigonometric Ratio:


\begin{gathered} \cos60^o=(x)/(22) \\ \\ \text{ Recall: }\cos60=(1)/(2) \\ \\ (1)/(2)=(x)/(22) \\ \\ 2x=22 \\ \\ x=(22)/(2)=11 \end{gathered}

Cross multiply:


x=22\cos60^o=22*(1)/(2)=11

Step 2:

Find the value of y.

Apply the Trigonometric Ratio:
