Answer:

A:

  • x = (20√3)/3
  • y = (40√3)/3

Explanation:

Side length ratios in a 30°-60°-90° "special" triangle are (shortest to longest):

1 : √3 : 2

Comparing to the given side lengths, we have ...

1 : √3 : 2 = x : 20 : y

Making these ratios the same gives ...

x = 20/√3 = (20√3)/3

y = 2x = (40√3)/3

These values match choice A.
