Answer:

Explanation:

here is how you find the answer

Use SOH CAH TOA to recall how the trig functions fit on a triangle

SOH: Sin(Ф)= Opp / Hyp

CAH: Cos(Ф)= Adj / Hyp

TOA: Tan(Ф) = Opp / Adj

now apply the above rules to the given triangle

where we are given the angle of 30° and the Adj side of 27

y is the Hyp of this triangle and x is the Opp side of this triangle, now plug in the given values as follows

so use CAH Cos(30) = 27 / Hyp

Hyp = 27 / Cos(30)

Hyp = 27 / (
√(3) / 2)

Hyp = 27 * 2 /
√(3)

Hyp = 54 /
√(3)

y = 54 /
√(3)

use SOH, since we know the exact value for the Hyp from above

Sin(30) = Opp / ( 54 /
√(3) )

Sin(30) * 54 /
√(3) = Opp

1/2 * 54 /
√(3) = Opp

27 /
√(3) = Opp

x = 27 /
√(3)

Y=31.2
X=15.6

I rounded both to the nearest tenth place.
