Answer:

The values of x and y are 23.83 and 31.1.

Explanation:

Given that,

Perpendicular = 20 units

Angle,
\theta=40^(\circ)

We need to find the values of x and y.

Using trigonometry,


\tan(40)=(20)/(x)\\\\x=(20)/(\tan(40))\\\\x=23.83

To find y use Pythagoras theorem,


y^2=23.83^2+20^2\\\\y=31.1

So, the values of x and y are 23.83 and 31.1.
