To solve tat it has to be done in steps:
I'd say first solve for the height by
sine 30 = height/34
height = sine 30 * 34

Answer 9

The "left" side of y also = 17

Answer 10

From Pythagoras, we know
x^2 = 17^2 + 17^2
x^2 = 578
and x = ???

Answer 11

289

Answer 12

Pythagoras says you're wrong

Answer 18

We need to solve for y
cosine 30 = adjacent / hypotenuse
adjacent = cosine 30 * 34
adjacent = ???

Answer 19

29.4448

Answer 20

Do you know the cosine of 30 degrees

Answer 26

Alright.... 17+29.44502=46.4 (rounded) :)

Answer 27

Wouldn't "y" equal the "left" side 17
plus the right side 29.44502

Answer 28

Very good !!

Answer 29

Awesome. x=24.0 (rounded) y=46.4 (rounded)

Answer 30
