Answer:

3rd option

Explanation:

using the sine and cosine ratios for the 60° angle in the right triangle and the exact values.

cos60° =
(1)/(2) and sin60° =
(√(3) )/(2) , then

cos60° =
(adjacent)/(hypotenuse) =
(x)/(12) =
(1)/(2) ( cross- multiply )

2x = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 6

and

sin60° =
(opposite)/(hypotenuse) =
(y)/(12) =
(√(3) )/(2) ( cross- multiply )

2y = 12
√(3) ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 6
√(3)
