Question

Use trig functions to find the value of X and Y

Answer 1

x = 6.868

y = 79.206

Explanation:

`\tan22^\circ=(x)/(17)\\x=17\tan22^\circ\\x\approx6.868`

`\cos15^\circ=(y)/(82)\\y=82\cos15^\circ\\y\approx79.206`

Remember that
`\displaystyle \tan\theta=\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}` and
`\displaystyle \cos\theta=\frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}`.
