Answer:

  • x = 7√3, y = 14
  • x = √3, y = 3

Explanation:

Use the property of 30-60-90 degree right triangles

They have the ratio of sides from smallest to greatest: 1: √3 : 2

The top triangle

  • y = 2*7 = 14
  • x = 7√3

The bottom triangle

Acute angles n and 2n makes them 30° and 60°

  • x = 1/2*2√3 = √3
  • y = √3*√3 = 3
