Answer :

Answer:

The value of x is 9.

The value of y is 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle is a right angled triangle.

We have: [tex]$ tan(x) = \frac{opp}{adj} $[/tex]

Therefore, [tex]$ tan(30) = \frac{x}{9\sqrt{3}} $[/tex]

Since, [tex]$ tan(30) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} $[/tex]

Therefore, we have:

[tex]$ \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \frac{x}{9\sqrt{3}} $[/tex]

[tex]$ \implies x = 9 $[/tex]

Now, 'y' is the hypotenuse.

Use Pythagoras theorem, we have [tex]$ x^2 + (9\sqrt{3}})^2 = y^2 $[/tex]

Substituting x = 9, we get:

81 + 81(3) = y²

[tex]$ \implies y^2 = 81 + 243 $[/tex]

[tex]$ \implies y^2 = 324 $[/tex]

[tex]$ \therefore y = 18 $[/tex]

Hence, the value of y = 18.
