Answer:

Perpendicular = Y = 34.64 ft (Approx)

Base = X = 20 ft

Explanation:

Given:

θ = 60°

Hypotenuse = 40 ft

Perpendicular = Y

Base = X

Find:

X and Y

Computation:

Sinθ = Perpendicular / Hypotenuse

Sin 60 = Y / 40

Perpendicular = Y = 34.64 ft (Approx)

Cosθ = base / Hypotenuse

cos 60 = X / 40

Base = X = 20 ft
