Answer:


\huge\boxed{x=12sin80=11.8}\\\huge\boxed{y=12cos80=2.1}

Explanation:

Because sine = opposite over hypotenuse, simply multiply both sides by the hypotenuse to get:

hypotenuse * sinθ = opposite

Do the same thing with cos to get:

hypotenuse * cosθ = adjacent

Hope it helps :) and let me know if you want me to elaborate.
