Find the values of x and y using trig

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle is a right angle triangle. This is because one of its angles is 90 degrees.

Let us determine x

Taking 47 degrees as the reference angle,

x = adjacent side

11 = hypotenuse

Applying trigonometric ratio,

Cos # = adjacent side / hypotenuse

# = 47 degrees

Cos 47 = x/11

x = 11cos47

x = 11 × 0.6820

x = 7.502

Let us determine y

Taking 47 degrees as the reference angle,

y = opposite side

11 = hypotenuse

Applying trigonometric ratio,

Sin # = opposite side / hypotenuse

# = 47 degrees

Sin 47 = y/11

x = 11Sin47

x = 11 × 0.7314

x = 8.0454

just watched it its a great explanation! combining like terms with rational coefficients on yt
