Answer:

  x ≈ 8.0

  y ≈ 6.0

Step-by-step explanation:

For x, the relevant trig relation is ..

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  sin(53°) = x/10

  x = 10·sin(53°)

  x ≈ 8.0

__

The value of y can be found in the same way using the 37° angle, or the cosine function can be used.

  y = 10·sin(37°) ≈ 6.0

  y = 10·cos(53°) ≈ 6.0
