\

The given triangle is a 30°- 60°- 90° triangle.

\

Here the length of the hypotenuse is y, length of the shorter leg is 8, and the length

\

of the longer leg is x.

\

The 30°- 60°- 90° triangle has the property that the length of its hypotenuse is

\

twise the length of the shorter leg, and the length of the longer leg is \"\" times

\

to the length of the shorter leg.

\

So, by 30°- 60°- 90° triangle property, \"\" or 16.

\

And \"\" or 13.85.\"\"

\

The value of x is \"\" or 13.85 and y is 16.
