Question

Find the values of x and y. Write your answer in simplest form

Answer 1

Explanation:

The angle is 60 degrees so the triangle is half of an equilateral triangle

so y is half of the hypotenuse:

y = 16/2 = 8

x = √16^2 - 8^2 = √256 - 64 = √192 = 8√3

Answer 2

a = 8

b = 13.85641 or 8√3
