Answer:
Explanation:
use SOH CAH TOA
Sin = Opp / Hyp
Cos = Adj / Hyp
Tan = Opp / Adj
then we know the adjacent side and the angle, and want to find the Hyp, so use CAH
Cos(60) = ( 8
/ 3 ) / Hyp ( cos(60) = 1/2 )
Hyp = (8
/ 3) / (1/2)
Hyp = 2 ((8
/ 3)
Hyp = 16
/ 3
x = 16
/ 3
Now use SOH
Sin (60) = Opp / 16
/ 3 ( sin(60) =
/2 )
(16
/ 3)(
/2) = Opp
16 * 3 / 6 = Opp
8 = Opp
y = 8
