Answer:

Answer:

  • x → 4.24
  • y → 4.24

Explanation:

» x and y can only be got through using trigonometric ratios:

For x :


{ \tt{ \sin( \theta) = (opposite)/(hypotenuse) }} \\ \\ { \tt{ \sin(45 \degree) = (x)/(6) }} \\ \\ { \tt{x = 6 * \sin(45 \degree) }} \\ { \tt{x = 4.24}}

For y :


{ \tt{ \cos( \theta) = (adjacent)/(hypotenuse) }} \\ \\ { \tt{ \cos( 45 \degree) = (y)/(6) }} \\ \\ { \tt{y = 6 * \cos(45 \degree) }} \\ { \tt{y = 4.24}}
