Question

Find the values of x and y in the picture. Express answers in simplest radical form. (square root from)

Answer 1

Answer:

$x = \frac{12}{ \tan(60 \degree) } \\ x = \frac{12}{ \sqrt{3} } \\ x = 4 \sqrt{3} \: cm$

$y = \frac{12}{ \sin (60 \degree) } \\ y = \frac{12 \times 2}{ \sqrt{3} } \\ y = \frac{24}{ \sqrt{3} } \\ y = 8 \sqrt{3} \: cm$
