Question

I would appreciate if someone could help me answer this math problem :)

Answer 1

The Solution:

Given:

We are required to find the values of x and y.

Step 1:

Find the value of x.

Apply the Trigonometric Ratio:

$\begin{gathered} \cos60^o=\frac{x}{22} \\ \\ \text{ Recall: }\cos60=\frac{1}{2} \\ \\ \frac{1}{2}=\frac{x}{22} \\ \\ 2x=22 \\ \\ x=\frac{22}{2}=11 \end{gathered}$

Cross multiply:

$x=22\cos60^o=22\times\frac{1}{2}=11$

Step 2:

Find the value of y.
