Answer:

d.
\displaystyle x = 30, y = 10√(3)

Explanation:

In a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the shorter leg is represented by
\displaystyle x,the longer leg is represented by
\displaystyle x√(3),and the hypotenuse is represented by
\displaystyle 2x. So, evaluate:


\displaystyle hypotenuse \hookleftarrow 2x \\ long\:leg \hookleftarrow x√(3) \\ short\:leg \hookleftarrow x \\ \\ 20√(3) = 2x\:[x\:is\:'y'\:in\:this\:case]; 10√(3) \\ \\ \\ x√(3) = x \\ \\ 30 = 10√(3)[√(3)]

In the end, you arrive at this:


\displaystyle x = 30, y = 10√(3)

I am joyous to assist you at any time.
