Answer:
x ≈ 13.8 units
y ≈ 22.0 units
Explanation:
We must use trigonometry to address this problem.
First, we know that y is the side opposite to the labelled angle, and x is the side adjacent to the labelled angle. 26 is the length of the hypotenuse.
We use cosine to find x (because cosine = adjacent / hypotenuse) and sine to find y (because sine = opposite / hypotenuse).
cos(58) = x/26
x = 26 * cos(58) ≈ 13.8
sin(58) = y/26
y = 26 * sin(58) ≈ 22.0
Thus, x ≈ 13.8 units and y ≈ 22.0 units.
