The value of 'x' is 24.2 and the value of 'y' is 46.5.
To solve this, we do the following steps.
<u>Step 1:</u> Divide 'y' into 2 parts, 'a' and 'b'. 'a' would be the lower leg of the 45°-45°-90° triangle, while 'b' is the lower leg of the 30°-60°-90° triangle.<em>
</em><u>Step 2:</u> Given the hypotenuse (34) of the 30°-60°-90° triangle, solve for 'b' using the cosine of 30°.
cos30° = b/34 [adjacent over hypotenuse]
b = 34cos30° [cross-multiply]
b = 29.4
<u>Step 3:</u> Solve for the 90° leg (the side opposite the 30° angle) using the Pythagorean Theorem. We will name this leg "h" (cuz height).
l² + l² = hyp²
29.4² + h² = 34²
h² = 1156 - 864.36
√h² = √291.64
h = 17.1
<u>Step 4:</u> Solve for 'x' by using the 45°-45°-90° triangle ratio (1:1:√2). √2 would be the hypotenuse of the 45°-45°-90° triangle, while 1 would be both congruent legs.
Side 'h' is one of the legs; side 'a' is the other. Since these legs are congruent, 'a' also measures 17.1. Now all we need to do is solve for 'x', which is our hypotenuse. To do this, we simply multiply the measure of side 'h' or 'a' by √2.
x = 17.1 × √2
x = 24.2
<u>Step 5:</u> Now that we got the value of 'x', solve for 'y' by adding the measures of sides 'a' and 'b' together.<em>
</em><u /> y = a + b
y = 17.1 + 29.4
y = 46.5
And there you have it! <em>Hope this helps.</em>

<span>The <u>correct answer</u> is:
A) 60% ± 18%.
Explanation:
In a confidence interval, the margin of error is given by z*(</span>σ/√n<span>), where </span>σ<span> is the standard deviation and n is the sample size.
First we <u>find the value of z</u>:
We want a 95% confidence level; 95% = 95/100 = 0.95.
To find the z-score, we first subtract this from 1:
1-0.95 = 0.05.
Divide by 2:
0.05/2 = 0.025.
Subtract from 1 again:
1-0.025 = 0.975.
Using a z-table, we find this value in the middle of the table. The z-score that is associated with this value is 1.96.
Back to our formula for margin of error, we have 1.96(</span>σ<span>/</span>√n<span>). The larger n, the sample size, is, the larger its square root is. When we divide by a larger number, our answer is smaller; this gives us a smaller margin of error.
This means that if we had a small sample size, we would divide by a smaller number, making our margin of error larger. The largest margin of error we have in this question is 18%, so this is our correct answer.</span>
