Question

Find the value of each variable. X and y. 26 30

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 13 and y = 13√3

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that sin Ф = opposite side / hypotenuse, and that

                   cos Ф = adjacent sice / hypotenuse.

if we recognize that the angle Ф is 30° here, then we know that:

x = opposite side = hypotenuse * sin 30° = 26*(1/2) = 13.

and....

y = adjacent side = hypotenuse*cos 30° = 26*√3/2 = 13√3

In summary, x = 13 and y = 13√3
