Answer:

x = 10.6, y = 39.6

Explanation:

Given that,

Angle A = 75°

Angle B = 90°

Angle C = 180-(A+B)

= 15°

Now, using trigonometry,

$\sin C=(x)/(41)\\\\x=41* \sin C\\\\=41* \sin(15)\\\\x=10.6$

For y, using Pythagoras theorem,

$y=√(41^2-10.6^2) \\\\y=39.6$

Hence, the value of x is equal to 10.6 and that of y is equal to 39.6.
