The side lengths of the triangle are x = 12.375 cm , y = 8.475 cm   .

What is trigonometric ratio?

Trigonometric ratios are the ratios of the length of sides of a triangle. These ratios in trigonometry relate the ratio of sides of a right triangle to the respective angle.

The basic trigonometric ratios formulas are given below,

sin θ = Perpendicular/Hypotenuse

cos θ = Base/Hypotenuse

tan θ = Perpendicular/Base

sec θ = Hypotenuse/Base

cosec θ = Hypotenuse/Perpendicular

cot θ = Base/Perpendicular

According to the question

Hypotenuse of the triangle r = 15 cm

Perpendicular for ∠ θ  =  y

Base for ∠ θ  =  x

sin(θ)=0.565

cos(θ)=0.825

Now, using trigonometric ratio

sin θ = [tex]\frac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]

sin(θ)=0.565  (given)

0.565 = [tex]\frac{y}{r}[/tex]

0.565 * r = y

y = 0.565 * 15

y = 8.475 cm  

cos θ = [tex]\frac{Base}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]

cos(θ)=0.825

0.825 = [tex]\frac{x}{r}[/tex]

0.825 * r = x

x = 0.825 * 15

x = 12.375 cm

Hence, the side lengths of the triangle are x = 12.375 cm , y = 8.475 cm.
