Degree 54
Hypotenuse 24
How do i find x and y?

Respuesta :

The values of x and y are 19 and 14 respectively.

How to determine the length

Given the hypotenuse = 24

Opposite = x

Adjacent = y

Let's use the sine ratio to find the opposite side

sin of angle = opposite/hypotenuse

sin 54 = x/24

Cross multiplysin 54 × 24 ,= x

x = 19.42

x = 19

To find the adjacent side, we use cosine ratio

cos = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos 54 = y/25

Cross multiply

cos 54 × 24 = y

y = 14

Thus, the values of x and y are 19 and 14 respectively.
