As you can probably tell, this is a 30, 60, 90 triangle. That means the degree measures are 30, 60, and 90. These are special triangles. For every 30, 60, 90 triangle in the world, the shorter leg (in your case, x) is ALWAYS two times shorter than the hypotenuse (6). 6/2=3, so x=3. Also, the longer leg for a 30, 60, 90 triangle is always equal to the shorter leg times the square root of 3. So, 3 times the square root of 3 is about 5.2. So, y=5.2. Hope it helps!
