Question

Can ya'll help me find x and y and how to do it. Thanks

Answer 1

x = 904 and y = 18

Explanation:

Let's start by calculating x

• tan 32° =
  `(x)/(15)`
• x = 15*tan 32°
• x =9.37
• x≈ 9.4

Let's use the pythagorian theorem to find y

• x²+15² =y²
• 9.4²+15² = y²
• y =
  `\sqrt{9.4^(2)+15^(2) }`
• y = 17.7
• y ≈ 18
