Answer:

x = 10 units, y = 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given triangle ABC is a 30-60-90 triangle,

m∠C = 60°

By applying Sine rule in the given triangle,

Sin(60)°= [tex]\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}[/tex]

Sin(60)° [tex]=\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{AC}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{\text{AB}}{\text{AC}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{5\sqrt{3}}{x}[/tex]

x = 10 units

Similarly, by applying Cosine rule in the given triangle,

Cos(60)° = [tex]\frac{\text{Adjacent side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}[/tex]

Cos(60)° = [tex]=\frac{\text{BC}}{\text{AC}}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2}=\frac{y}{x}[/tex]

y = [tex]\frac{x}{2}[/tex]

y = 5 units

Therefore, x = 10 units and y = 5 units will be the answer.
