Explanation:

It's a right triangle with one of the angles being 60°. This means that the leftover angle is 30°. This allows me to use the attached screenshot as a reference, so please check it out if you want to understand how to easily solve those types of equations in the future. Anyway, we can specify the hypotenuse as
a .

First, let's calculate the value of
y.


a =
10√(3)


y =
(a)/(2)


y =
(10√(3) )/(2)


y =
5√(3)

----

Now, let's get to
x


a =
10√(3)


x =
(a√(3) )/(2)


x =
(10 √(3) * √(3))/(2)


x =
(10 * 3)/(2)


x =
(30)/(2)


x =
15

----


x =
15 and
y =
5√(3)

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

For this, you would need to use the trigonometric function Sine and cosine.

The trig equations are:

sin(θ) =
(opposite - side)/(hypotenuse)

cos(θ) =
(adjacent-side )/(hypotenuse)

Let's start with Sine:

sin(60) =
(x)/(10√(3) )

Multiply both sides of the equation by
10√(3).


10√(3) (sin(60)) = x

Input into calculator and solve.

x = 15

Now for Cosine:

cos(60) =
(y)/(10√(3) )

Multiply both sides of the equation by
10√(3).


10√(3) (cos(60)) = x

Input into calculator and solve.

y =
5√(3)

x = 15

y =
5√(3)

These are the answers.

I hope this helps!
