Answer:

x = 3sqrt(3)

y = 9

Explanation:

x = 6sqrt(3)sin30

x = 3sqrt(3)

y = 6sqrt(3)cos30

We have hypothenuse which I will denote with
h=6โˆš(3) and angle
\beta=30^(\circ).

First we can use the sine function to determine the length of
x by solving the following equality:


\sin(\beta)=(x)/(h)\implies x=\sin(\beta)h=\boxed{3โˆš(3)}.

Simlarly, we can find
y using cosine function:


\cos(\beta)=(y)/(h)\implies y=\cos(\beta)h=\boxed{9}.

Hope this helps.
