Answer 2

Uh use the 30-60-90 special right triangle rule

Answer 3

To find y the hypotenuse:
We have: SOHCAHTOA
We want to find a ration that uses H. So, clearly tan is out of the eqn. We're definitely going to need to use the 17 length side. So, we'll need to label our sides. y is the hypotenuse. The side opposite to theta (30 degrees) is opposite and the last remaining side is the adjacent. So the 17 side is opposite, y is hypotenuse and x is adjacent.

So we want a ration that has hyp and opp. That would be sin

sin(θ) = O/H

You just need to plug in the values (we know theta and Opposite) and find H using cross multiplication or any method you are comfortable with.

After you find y the hyp you can easily find x. Just use the Pythagorean theorem.
c^2=a^2+b^2.
But be careful which values you plug in. c = hyp and a and b can be either the opp side or adj side.

Lemme see what you get and I'll go over it. (:

Answer 4

@rEsTiNpEaCe or @dude I got x=17 \[\sqrt{3}\], and y=34
