Answer:

Third option
x = 12, y = 20.78

Explanation:

This is a 30-60-90 triangle,

In such a triangle the if we are given the length of the hypotenuse, then the perpendicular or the height, which is given as x would half the length of the hypotenuse and the base given by y would be x√3

Calculate x first

x = 24/2 = 12

Looking at the four choices, only fits this value. This is the 3rd choice. So that is the correct one

If you wanted to make sure, find y = x√3 = 12√3 = 20.7846

Answer

Third option
x = 12, y = 20.78
