Answer:

x = 4
√(3) , y = 4

Explanation:

using the cosine and sine ratios in the right triangle and the exact values

cos30° =
(√(3) )/(2) , sin30° =
(1)/(2) , then

cos30° =
(adjacent)/(hypotenuse) =
(x)/(8) =
(√(3) )/(2) ( cross- multiply )

2x = 8
√(3) ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 4
√(3)

and

sin30° =
(opposite)/(hypotenuse) =
(y)/(8) =
(1)/(2) ( cross- multiply )

2y = 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 4
