Answer:
D. x = 15; y = 5√3
Step-by-step explanation:
You don't need to know any trig to select the correct answer. You only need to know that the lengths of both sides must be less than the length of the hypotenuse. It is also helpful to know that √3 is about 1.732, so 10√3 ≈ 17.32.
Since x < 10√3, only answer choices A and D are viable.
Since y < 10√3, only answer choice D is viable.

If you want to solve this using trig relations, you can recall that the sides of a 30°-60°-90° triangle have the ratios 1 : √3 : 2. This means short side y is half the length of the hypotenuse 10√3, so y = 5√3. It also means longer side x is √3 times y, so is x = (5√3)√3 = 5·3 = 15.
x = 15; y = 5√3
Answer:
1. Use a straightedge
2. Draw dots on the line to mark the starting point
3. Place the point of the compass on the point you made or was given
4. Extend the compass so that the pencil is on the 2nd point & make a an arc thru point B
5. Place the compass point on the starting point dot on the line and draw w/ the pencil to create an arc crossing the line.
