Answer:

x =30

subtract 60 from 90 you gonna use 90 because it's a right angle triangle so 60 from 90 gives you 30

y=30

Answer:

So what's special about 30-60-90 triangle?

The ratio of the sides in 30-60-90 triangles are 1:
√(3):2

So how can we find X and Y?

The ratio between the hypotenuse and the shortest side(the side opposite to 30 degrees) is 1:2 ratio

So 1:2 = Y:46 Y=23 degrees

Then let's step up and try to solve for X

The ratio between the shortest side(Y) and the side facing 60 degrees(X) is

1:
√(3)

So 1:
√(3) = 23:X X=23
√(3)
