Please help for number 8 I don't understand.

Answer:
8a. x = 16β3
8b. y = 8β3
Step-by-step explanation:
8a. Determination of the value of x
Adjacent = 24
Hypothenus = x
Angle ΞΈ = 30Β°
The value of x can be obtained by using cosine ratio as illustrated below:
Cos ΞΈ = Adjacent /Hypothenus
Cos 30 = 24 / x
β3/2 = 24/x
Cross multiply
x Γ β3 = 2Γ 24
x Γ β3 = 48
Divide both side by β3
x = 48/β3
Rationalise
x = 48/β3 Γ β3/β3
x = 48β3 / β3 Γ β3
x = 48β3 / 3
x = 16β3
8b. Determination of the value of y
Opposite = y
Adjacent = 24
Angle ΞΈ = 30Β°
The value of y can be obtained by using Tan ratio as illustrated below:
Tan ΞΈ = Opposite / Adjacent
Tan 30 = y / 24
1 / β3 = y /24
Cross multiply
y Γ β3 = 1 Γ 24
y Γ β3 = 24
Divide both side by β3
y = 24 /β3
Rationalise
y = 24 /β3 Γ β3/β3
y = 24 Γβ3 / β3 Γ β3
y = 24β3 / 3
y = 8β3
