Answer:
[tex]x=12,\\y=12\sqrt{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
In any 30-60-90 triangle, the side lengths are in the ratio [tex]x:x\sqrt{3}:2x[/tex], where [tex]2x[/tex] is the hypotenuse, or longest side, of the triangle and [tex]x[/tex] is the side opposite to the 30 degree angle.
In the given 30-60-90 triangle, the longest side (hypotenuse) is marked as 24. Since [tex]x[/tex] is opposite to the 30 degree angle,
Therefore, we have:
[tex]x=\frac{24}{2},\\x=\boxed{12}[/tex]
Based on our side length ratio [tex]x:x\sqrt{3}:2x[/tex], [tex]y[/tex] is then:
[tex]y=x\sqrt{3}\text{ for}\implies x=12,\\y=\boxed{12\sqrt{3}}[/tex]
