Answer:
The answer is (D) ⇒ x = 15 and y = 5√3
Step-by-step explanation:
∵The triangle is right angle Δ
∵ measure of an angle is 60°
Use trigonometry functions to find x and y
∵ sin60° = x/10√3
∴ x = 10√3 × sin60° = 15
∴ x = 15
∵ cos60° = y/10√3
∴ y = 10√3 × cos60° = 5√3
∴ y = 5√3
Answer:
The correct answer option is D. x = 15, y = 5[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given a right angled triangle with one known angle, 60°, and one known side, [tex]10\sqrt{3}[/tex] which is the hypotenuse and we are to find the remaining two side lengths.
Using sine to find x:
[tex]sin 60=\frac{x}{10\sqrt{3} }[/tex]
[tex]x=sin60[/tex] × [tex]10\sqrt{3}[/tex]
[tex]x=15[/tex]
Using cos to find y:
[tex]cos 60 = \frac{y}{10\sqrt{3} }[/tex]
[tex]y=cos 60[/tex] × [tex]10\sqrt{3}[/tex]
[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}[/tex] × [tex]10\sqrt{3}[/tex]
[tex]y=5\sqrt{3}[/tex]
