Answer:

x = 15√3

y = 30

Explanation:

In a 30°-60°-90° "special" triangle, the ratios of side lengths are ...

1 : √3 : 2

Your diagram shows the short side is 15, so the other sides can be found by multiplying the above ratio numbers by 15.

1 : √3 : 2 = 15 : x : y = 15 : 15√3 : 30

x = 15√3

y = 30
