To get the x and the y

x = 16

y = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

the left part of the triangle can be solved first as it already has one angle and 1 side, we use trigonometry for this.

since we have 2 sides and 1 angle, to find the third side length we use the pythagoras theorem. a² + b² = c²

; 9² + 12² = c²

; 225 = c²

;√225 = c

; 15 = c

since we have all the lengths of the triangle, we can find out the angle opposite to the side length '9',

;

; x 9 = Sinx

36.86 = x

now, we look at the triangle as a whole, the top angle being 90 degrees, we know that we have 36.86.

; 90 - 36.86 = 53.13

; x Sin 90 = 20

y = 20

again, since we have 2 sides of a right angled triangle we use a² + b² = c²

we arrange this formula since we have the hypotenuse

; 20² - 12² = 256

; √256 = x

; 16  = x

he has now walked a total of what?

if i know what this is maybe i can

step-by-step explanation:

38.6°

step-by-step explanation:

resultant is 10 pound

smaller force = 8 pound

angle formed = tan⁻¹(

                        =tan⁻¹(

                          =tan⁻¹(0.8)

                        =38.6°
