Okay, I will help you solve the problem. Based on the image, it looks like we need to find the values of w and y in the right triangle.
We are given a right triangle with one angle of 60 degrees and the hypotenuse equal to 10. We need to find the length of the side w, which is opposite to the 60-degree angle.
We can use the sine function to relate the angle, the opposite side, and the hypotenuse:
$\sin(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$
In this case, $\theta = 60^\circ$, the opposite side is w, and the hypotenuse is 10. So we have:
$\sin(60^\circ) = \frac{w}{10}$
We know that $\sin(60^\circ) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$. Therefore:
$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{w}{10}$
To solve for w, we multiply both sides by 10:
$w = 10 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 5\sqrt{3}$
So, $w = 5\sqrt{3}$.
Answer: $w = 5\sqrt{3}$
Now we need to find the length of the side y, which is adjacent to the 60-degree angle.
We can use the cosine function to relate the angle, the adjacent side, and the hypotenuse:
$\cos(\theta) = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$
In this case, $\theta = 60^\circ$, the adjacent side is y, and the hypotenuse is 10. So we have:
$\cos(60^\circ) = \frac{y}{10}$
We know that $\cos(60^\circ) = \frac{1}{2}$. Therefore:
$\frac{1}{2} = \frac{y}{10}$
To solve for y, we multiply both sides by 10:
$y = 10 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 5$
So, $y = 5$.
Answer: $y = 5$
Okay, I see that you're asking about the value of y in the given right triangle.
As I calculated before, the length of the side y, which is adjacent to the 60-degree angle, is found using the cosine function:
$\cos(\theta) = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$
In this case, $\theta = 60^\circ$, the adjacent side is y, and the hypotenuse is 10. So we have:
$\cos(60^\circ) = \frac{y}{10}$
Since $\cos(60^\circ) = \frac{1}{2}$, we have:
$\frac{1}{2} = \frac{y}{10}$
To solve for y, we multiply both sides by 10:
$y = 10 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = 5$
So, $y = 5$.
Answer: $y = 5$
