Answer:
x ≈ 17.8 , y ≈ 33.6
Step-by-step explanation:
using the sine ratio in the right triangle to find x
sin28° = [tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{38}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 38 )
38 × sin28° = x , then
x ≈ 17.8 ( to the nearest tenth )
using the cosine ratio in the right triangle to find y
cos28° = [tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{y}{38}[/tex] ( multiply both sides by 38 )
38 × cos28° = y , then
y ≈ 33.6 ( to the nearest tenth )
