Find the value of X and Y.
​

Answer 1

X=6.3 and Y=8.6 (approx.)

Explanation:

To find x. [ SOH CAH TOA ]

tan 55 = 9/x

(cross multiply and make x subject)

x = 9/tan 55

x = 6.30

To find y.

sin 47 = x/y

(cross multiply and make y subject)

y = x/sin 47

(since x = 6.30)

y = 6.30/sin 47

y = 8.61
