Answer:
Value of x : [tex]8\sqrt{3}[/tex] or 13.86
Value of y : 16
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use trigonometric functions to find the values of x and y.
For x:
-Tangent is the one for x, so you can use:
tan(θ)=opposite/adjacent
-Plug the values in to get
tan(60)=x/8
x=8×tan(60)
x=[tex]8\sqrt{3}[/tex] or 13.86
For y:
For y we can either use trigonometric functions or the pythagorean theorem.
[tex]a^{2} = b^{2} + c^{2}[/tex]
[tex]y^{2} = 13.86^{2} + 8^{2}[/tex]
[tex]y^{2} =256.1\\[/tex]
y is around 16
