Question

Y
45°
30°
N
17
I need help pls

Answer 1

x=29.4

Explanation:

To help find the sides of a triangle, I use SOHCAHTOA.

SOH - CAH - TOA

S=O/H (
`Sine=(opposite)/(hypotenuse)` )

C=A/H (
`Cosine=(adjacent)/(hypotenuse)` )

T=O/A (
`Tangent =(opposite)/(adjacent)` )

Let's find x first. We know 2 parts of the triangle: the adjacent leg, and the angle that is opposite of that.

So it would be tangent (tan).

opposite = 17

adjacent = 30°

Plug these numbers into the calculator and you should get your answer.

`(17)/(tan(30)) = 29.44486372...`

x=29.4

Try to do y on your own and let me know if you have any questions!

Also correct me if I'm wrong on anything.

Hope this information helps!
