Here are the solutions for the problems:

:
We have a right-angled triangle with a hypotenuse of 5 and an angle of 45∘45^\circ. We need to find the opposite side xx and the adjacent side yy.

  1. Find xx using the sine function.

    sin⁡(θ)=oppositehypotenuse\sin(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} sin⁡(45∘)=x5\sin(45^\circ) = \frac{x}{5} x=5×sin⁡(45∘)x = 5 \times \sin(45^\circ) x=5×22x = 5 \times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} x=522x = \frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2} x≈3.536x \approx 3.536
  2. Find yy using the cosine function.

    cos⁡(θ)=adjacenthypotenuse\cos(\theta) = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} cos⁡(45∘)=y5\cos(45^\circ) = \frac{y}{5} y=5×cos⁡(45∘)y = 5 \times \cos(45^\circ) y=5×22y = 5 \times \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} y=522y = \frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2} y≈3.536y \approx 3.536

    The values are: x=522,y=522\boxed{x = \frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}, y = \frac{5\sqrt{2}}{2}}

    We have a right-angled triangle with the adjacent side to 60∘60^\circ as 2. We need to find the hypotenuse xx and the opposite side yy.

  3. Find xx using the cosine function.

    cos⁡(θ)=adjacenthypotenuse\cos(\theta) = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} cos⁡(60∘)=2x\cos(60^\circ) = \frac{2}{x} x=2cos⁡(60∘)x = \frac{2}{\cos(60^\circ)} x=20.5x = \frac{2}{0.5} x=4x = 4
  4. Find yy using the tangent function.

    tan⁡(θ)=oppositeadjacent\tan(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} tan⁡(60∘)=y2\tan(60^\circ) = \frac{y}{2} y=2×tan⁡(60∘)y = 2 \times \tan(60^\circ) y=2×3y = 2 \times \sqrt{3} y≈3.464y \approx 3.464

    The values are: x=4,y=23\boxed{x = 4, y = 2\sqrt{3}}

    We have a right-angled triangle with a hypotenuse of 10 and an angle of 60∘60^\circ. We need to find the adjacent side xx and the opposite side yy.

  5. Find xx using the cosine function.

    cos⁡(θ)=adjacenthypotenuse\cos(\theta) = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} cos⁡(60∘)=x10\cos(60^\circ) = \frac{x}{10} x=10×cos⁡(60∘)x = 10 \times \cos(60^\circ) x=10×0.5x = 10 \times 0.5 x=5x = 5
  6. Find yy using the sine function.

    sin⁡(θ)=oppositehypotenuse\sin(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} sin⁡(60∘)=y10\sin(60^\circ) = \frac{y}{10} y=10×sin⁡(60∘)y = 10 \times \sin(60^\circ) y=10×32y = 10 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} y=53y = 5\sqrt{3} y≈8.660y \approx 8.660

    The values are: x=5,y=53\boxed{x = 5, y = 5\sqrt{3}}
