Answer:

X = 18

Y = 9√3

Explanation:

use sin equation for right angle triangle

The sine of the angle

= ( the length of the opposite side ÷ the length of the hypotenuse.)

according to this question,

sin 30 = 9 / X

1/2 = 9 / X

X = 18

use cosine to find y

The cosine of the angle

= (the length of the adjacent side ÷ the length of the hypotenuse.)

cos 30 = y/x

√3/2 = y/ 18

y = 9 ✓3
