Answer:

x=24, y = 33/360 π×24^2/(sin^2(33° (degrees)))

Explanation:

notice that x = MK = HM = 24.

Let the center of the circle be C.

Also, notice the radius of the circle can be expressed as the hypotenuse of HMC. Using some trig, we figure out that the radius is 24/sin(33 degrees).

Using the radius of the circle, we can figure out the circumference. The circumference is pi*r^2=(24/sin(33 degrees))^2*pi=pi*24^2/(sin(33 degrees)^2)

Lastly, notice that y = 33/360*circumference = 33/360 π×24^2/(sin^2(33° (degrees)))

hopefully this helped
