Question

Find the values of x and y, write your answer in simplest form.

Answer 1

Explanation:

You have a 30-60-90 triangle. The sides of a 30-60-90 are in the ratio 1:√3:2.

The side opposite the 30° angle is 5, so the side opposite the 60° angle is 5√3, and the side opposite the 90° angle is 5×2 = 10.

x = 5√3

y = 10
