Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

This problem involves the use of trigonometric functions.

First, we will use the tangent trig function, and then the sine trig function.


tan(32) = (x)/(15)

We solve for x by multiplying both sides by 15.

15(tan(32)) = x

Put this into a calculator and solve.

x = 9.373

Now, we solve for y.


sin(32) = (9.373)/(y)

We multiply by y on both sides first.

y(sin(32)) = 9.373

Now, we divide each side by sin(32).


y = (9.373)/(sin(32))

Put this into a calculator and solve.

y = 17.6877

x = 9.373

y = 17.6877

These are your answers.
