Question

I don’t know how to find X or Y very urgent, need to figure this out how to solve plz help

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 9

y = 9√3 = 15.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle given is a right triangle, therefore:

✔️apply trigonometric ratio formula to find x:

Reference angle = 60°

Hypotenuse = 18

Adjacent = x

Thus:

Cos (60) = x/18

Multiply both sides by 18

18×cos(60) = x

9 = x

x = 9

✔️find y by applying pythagorean theorem:

y² = 18² - x² (pythagorean theorem)

y² = 18² - 9² (substitution)

y² = 243

y = √243

y = √(81*3)

y = 9√3 = 15.6
