Question

I really need help with this equation can someone help??

Answer 1

x = 11
`√(3)` , y = 33

Explanation:

using the cosine and sine ratios in the right triangle and the exact values

cos60° =
`(1)/(2)` , sin60° =
`(√(3) )/(2)` , then

cos60° =
`(adjacent)/(hypotenuse)` =
`(x)/(22√(3) )` =
`(1)/(2)` ( cross- multiply )

2x = 22
`√(3)` ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 11
`√(3)`

and

sin60° =
`(opposite)/(hypotenuse)` =
`(y)/(22√(3) )` =
`(√(3) )/(2)` ( cross- multiply )

2y = 22
`√(3)` ×
`√(3)` = 22 × 3 = 66 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 33
