Answer:

16

Explanation:

YOU NEED A CALCULATOR TO SOLVE THIS!

To solve this you need to use SOH-CAH-TOA

Do cos60° to find x


cos60 = (x)/(32)

Multiply both sides by 32 to get x alone


32(cos60) = x

Now put 32(cos60) into your calculator

The answer you get is 16

Answer:

x = 16

y = 16 sqrt(3)

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions

sin theta = opp/hyp

sin 60 = y/ 32

Multiply each side by 32

32 sin 60 = y

32 ( sqrt(3) /2) = y

16 sqrt(2)

cos theta = adj/ hyp

cos 60 = x /32

32 cos 60 = x

32 (1/2) =x

16 =x
