Question

Find the value of x and y, leave your answer in radical form.

Answer 1

12 sqrt(3) =x

12 =y

Explanation:

sin theta = opp/ hyp

sin 60 = x/24

Multiply each side by 24

24 sin 60 =x

24 sqrt(3)/2 = x

12 sqrt(3) =x

cos theta = adj/ hyp

cos 60 = y/24

Multiply each side by 24

24 cos 50 =y

24 *1/2 =y

12 =y
