Question

3 find the exact value of x and y in the following special right triangle.
x =
y =

Explanation:

Step1: Identify hypotenuse

Hypotenuse = 10

Step2: Find x (opposite 30°)

$x = \frac{1}{2} \times 10 = 5$

Step3: Find y (adjacent to 30°)

$y = x\sqrt{3} = 5\sqrt{3}$

Answer:

$x = 5$, $y = 5\sqrt{3}$
