Question

How do you find x & y?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is that x = 5.69 and y = 12.79

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x, we need use the Sin function. Sin of any angle is equal to the ratio of opposite to hypotenuse. This allows us to solve using the following equation.

Sin(ANGLE) = OPP/HYP

Sin(24) = OPP/14

14Sin(24) = OPP

5.69 = OPP

5.69 = x

We can do the same using the Cos for the adjacent side.

Cos(ANGLE) = ADJ/HYP

Cos(24) = ADJ/14

14Cos(24) = ADJ

12.79 = ADJ

12.79 = y
