Answer:

  • x = 7√3
  • y = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

You want the values of x and y for a right triangle with side lengths 7, x, y and the angle opposite 7 being 30°.

Special triangle

A 30°-60°-90° right triangle is one of two "special" right triangles with integer angles and a simple relationship between side lengths. This triangle has length ratios, shortest to longest, of ...

  1 : √3 : 2

In the given triangle, these are ...

  7 : x : y

Multiplying the known ratios by 7, we have ...

  7 : x : y = 7 : 7√3 : 14

That is, x = 7√3 and y = 14.

Additional comment

The other "special" right triangle is the isosceles 45°-45°-90° triangle, with sides in the ratio 1 : 1 : √2.
