Answer:

x is 46.67

y is 28.4°

Explanation:

To solve for x we use sine

sin ∅ = opposite / hypotenuse

AC is the opposite

x is the hypotenuse

so we have

sin 59° = 40 / x

x sin 59 = 40

Divide both sides by sin 59

x = 40/sin 59

x = 46.67

To solve for y we also use sine

sin y = 30/ 63

y = sin^-1(30/63)

y = 28.4°

Hope this helps you
