Answer:

D. x ≈ 3.3, y = 15.7

Explanation:

x = Opposite

y = Adjacent

16 = Hypotenuse

θ = 12°

To find x, we solve using the Trigonometric function of Sine

sin θ = Opposite/ Hypotenuse

x = Opposite

sin 12 = x/16

Cross Multiply

x = sin 12 × 16

x = 3.3265870531

Approximately, x ≈ 3.3

To find y, we solve using the Trigonometric function of cosine

cos θ = Adjacent/ Hypotenuse

y = Adjacent

cos 12 = y/16

Cross Multiply

y = cos 12 × 16

y = 15.650361612

Approximately, y ≈ 15.7

Therefore, x ≈ 3.3, y = 15.7

Option D is correct
