AA1 – perpendicular to the plane, AB and AC – inclined. Find x and y.

The ABC triangle is rectangular, then, according to the Pythagorean theorem, AB ^ 2 = AC ^ 2 + BC ^ 2 = 144 + 25 = 169.

AB = 13 cm.

In a right-angled triangle AA1B Sin60 = AA1 / AB.

AA1 = AB * Sin60 = 13 * √3 / 2 cm.

In a right-angled triangle AA1C, according to the Pythagorean theorem, A1C ^ 2 = AC ^ 2 – AA1 ^ 2 = 144 – 126.75 = 17.25.

A1C = √17.25 cm.

Answer: X = 13 * √3 / 2 cm, Y = √17.25 cm.
