Answer:


m = 10\sqrt 3


n = 10

Explanation:

Required

Find m and n

Considering the given angle, we have:


\sin(60) = (Opposite)/(Hypotenuse)

This gives:


\sin(60) = (m)/(20)

Make m ths subject


m = 20 * \sin(60)


\sin(60) =(\sqrt 3)/(2)

So, we have:


m = 20 *(\sqrt 3)/(2)


m = 10\sqrt 3

Considering the given angle again, we have:


\cos(60) = (Adjacent)/(Hypotenuse)

This gives:


\cos(60) = (n)/(20)

Make n the subject


n = 20 * \cos(60)


\sin(60) =(1)/(2)

So, we have:


n = 20 *(1)/(2)


n = 10
