Question

Can someone help me out please?? I would really appreciate it.

Answer 1

Answer:

C: x = 5 and y = (5√3)/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the triangle, we can use trigonometric ratios to find x and y since it's a right angled triangle.

Thus;

(5/2)/x = sin 30

x = (5/2)/½

x = 5

Similarly, (5/2)/y = tan 30

tan 30 in surd form is 1/√3

Thus;

(5/2)/y = 1/√3

y = 5/2 × √3

y = (5√3)/2
