Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The triangle is a right angle triangle. This is because one of its angles is 90 degrees.
Let us determine x
Taking 47 degrees as the reference angle,
x = adjacent side
11 = hypotenuse
Applying trigonometric ratio,
Cos # = adjacent side / hypotenuse
# = 47 degrees
Cos 47 = x/11
x = 11cos47
x = 11 × 0.6820
x = 7.502
Let us determine y
Taking 47 degrees as the reference angle,
y = opposite side
11 = hypotenuse
Applying trigonometric ratio,
Sin # = opposite side / hypotenuse
# = 47 degrees
Sin 47 = y/11
x = 11Sin47
x = 11 × 0.7314
x = 8.0454
