These are my options:
x=17, y=34 sqrt 3
x=34, y=17 sqrt 3
x=34 sqrt 3, y=17
x=17 sqrt 3, y=34

anonymous · Answer

use your calculator!!
hint tan 30 = 1/sqrt(3)

anonymous · Answer

I'm still very confused.. and my calculator doesn't have a tan option...

anonymous · Answer

1/sqrt(3) = 17/x
can you solve for x now?

anonymous · Answer

If you're solving questions like it, it would be handy to have a calculator that can calculate tan. Try www.web2.0calc.com
