Use special right triangles to find the value of the variables no decimal answers

Step-by-step explanation:
This is trigonometry. Focusing on Y initially, we can see that Y is the opposite, and 32 is the hypotenuse. Therefore, we must use sin:
[tex] \sin(60) = \frac{y}{32} [/tex]
[tex]y = \sin(60) \times 32[/tex]
[tex]y \approx28[/tex]
Next X. We can see that X is the adjacent, and 32 is the hypotenuse, so we must use cos:
[tex] \cos(60) = \frac{x}{32} [/tex]
[tex]x = \cos(60) \times 32[/tex]
[tex]x = 16[/tex]
Now let's look at A. We can see that a is the adjacent, and 12 is the opposite, so we must use tan:
[tex] \tan(60) = \frac{12}{a} [/tex]
[tex]a = \frac{12}{ \tan(60) } [/tex]
[tex]a \approx7[/tex]
Now, B. We can see that B is the hypotenuse, and 12 is the opposite, so we must use sin:
[tex] \sin(60) = \frac{12}{b} [/tex]
[tex]b = \frac{12}{ \sin(60) } [/tex]
[tex]b \approx14[/tex]
Answer:
Below in bold.
Step-by-step explanation:
The first triangle is a 30-60-90 triangle,
so the sides are in the ratio 2 : 1 : √3, where 2 is the hypotenuse, the 1 is adjacent to 60 degree angle and the √3 is opposite the 60 degree angle.
So x = 1/2 * 32 = 16
and y = 16√3 or 27.71 to nearest hundredth.
The second one is the same special triangle, so
√3/2 = 12/b
b = 24/√3
= 8√3 or 13.86 to nearest hundredth.
a = 1/2 b = 4√3 or 6.93 to nearest hundredth.
