Find the value of x and y. Write your answers in simplest form

x = 16, y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the sine ratio in the right triangle and the exact value

sin30° = , then

sin30° = = = ( cross- multiply )

x = 16

----------------------------------------------------------

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

y² + 8² = 16²

y² + 64 = 256 ( subtract 64 from both sides )

y² = 192 ( take the square root of both sides )

y = = = 8
