Question

Help finding the x and y values. Screenshot is attached!

Answer 1

You can use SAS and AAA for this. I'm not good at either, but that's what I'd do if it were my problem.

Answer 2

You have a right triangle so you can apply the Pythagorean Theorem as well as the trigonometric expressions.
Pythagorean Theorem:\[A^2+B^2=C^2\]

Trigonometric expressions: SOH, CAH TOA.
\[Sin(\theta)=\frac{ Opposite }{ Hypotenuse}\]\[Cos(\theta) = \frac{ Adjacent }{ Hypotenuse }\]\[Tan(\theta) =\frac{ Opposite }{ Adjacent }\]

Answer 3

@Johnbc sorry can you walk me thru it this is my first week of trig

Answer 4

You are looking for the values of x and y

Answer 5

Using SOH CAH TOA you can use angle 30 to solve for side x and side y.

Answer 6

Okay
