Question

A right-angle triangle, with two sides adjacent to the right angle labeled x and y respectively, and the hypotenuse is labeled 12 times square root of 3. The angle between the hypotenuse and the side labeled x measures 30 degrees. Find the values of $x$ and $y$ . Write your answers in simplest form.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 6(sq rt 3)

x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

y = (0.5)(12)(sq rt 3) = 6(sq rt 3)

x = (0.866)(12)(sq rt 3) = (10.392)(sq rt 3) = sq rt 324

reduced

x = 18
