Answer:

Here we have right triangles, which we can solve using trigonometric reasons, bceause we know the acute angles and the hypothenuse of the bigger right triangle.

Let's the sin function


sin30=(x)/(15)\\ x=15(sin30)\\x=15((1)/(2) )\\x=(15)/(2)

Then, we use the cosine function


cos30=(z)/(15)\\ z=15((√(3) )/(2) )

Now, we use the sin to find
y in the middle size right triangle


sin30=(y)/(15(√(3) )/(2) )\\ y=(1)/(2) * 15(√(3) )/(2)\\ y=15(√(3) )/(4)

Then, we use cosine in the smaller triangle


cos60=(a)/((15)/(2) ) \\a=(15)/(2) * (1)/(2)\\ a=(15)/(4)

Also, we know that


a+b=15, and
a=(15)/(4), so


b=15-a\\b=15-(15)/(4)\\ b=(60-15)/(4)\\ b=(45)/(4)

Therefore, all the answers are


x= (15)/(2)\\ y=15(√(3) )/(4)\\ z=15(√(3) )/(2)\\a=(15)/(4)\\ b=(45)/(4)
