The 30º-60º-90º triangle is a special case you'd do well to remember, because the legs always occur in the same ratio to one another. As your picture shows (I'm guessing "SL" stands for short leg?), the sides labeled 4, y and x occur in a ratio of 1 to √3 to 2.
This means
sin(30º) = SL/(2*SL) = 1/2
tan(30º) = SL/(√3*SL) = 1/√3
(and also cos(30º) = (√3*SL)/(2*SL) = √3/2, though you don't really need that here)
So in this triangle, x and y satisfy
sin(30º) = 4/x
tan(30º) = 4/y
This comes straight from the definitions of sine and tangent. Then
4/x = 1/2 ==> x = 8
4/y = 1/√3 ==> y = 4√3

If this is the proper sequence pattern, we add up all the numbers to get a sum.
The total sum is 2391457.
Well how many hours did they drive? we need that info
