Answer:

x = 11, y = 22

Explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle and the exact value

tan60° =
√(3) , then

tan60° =
(opposite)/(adjacent) =
(11√(3) )/(x) =
√(3) ( multiply both sides by x )

11
√(3) = x ×
√(3) ( divide both sides by
√(3) )

11 = x

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

y² = x² + (11
√(3) )² = 11² + 363 = 121 + 363 = 484 ( square root of both sides )

y =
√(484) = 22
