\displaystyle \text{(i) }\sin x^\circ=\frac{BC}{AC}=\frac{\sqrt3}{2}

\displaystyle \text{(ii) Since }\sin x^\circ=\frac{\sqrt3}{2}=\sin60^\circ,
\displaystyle \therefore x^\circ=60^\circ

\displaystyle \text{(iii) }\tan x^\circ=\tan60^\circ=\sqrt3

\displaystyle \text{(iv) }\cos x^\circ=\frac{AB}{AC}=\frac{y}{2}
\displaystyle \therefore \cos60^\circ=\frac{y}{2}
\displaystyle \Rightarrow \frac12=\frac{y}{2}
\displaystyle \therefore y=1\text{ unit}

\displaystyle \textbf{Question 15: }\text{If }2\cos(A+B)=2\sin(A-B)=1,\text{ find the values of }A\text{ and }B.
\displaystyle \text{Answer:}
\displaystyle 2\cos(A+B)=1
\displaystyle \Rightarrow \cos(A+B)=\frac12=\cos60^\circ
\displaystyle \Rightarrow A+B=60^\circ\qquad\ldots\text{(i)}
\displaystyle 2\sin(A-B)=1
\displaystyle \Rightarrow \sin(A-B)=\frac12=\sin30^\circ
\displaystyle \Rightarrow A-B=30^\circ\qquad\ldots\text{(ii)}
\displaystyle \text{Adding (i) and (ii),}
\displaystyle 2A=90^\circ
\displaystyle \therefore A=45^\circ
\displaystyle \text{Substituting }A=45^\circ\text{ in (i),}
\displaystyle 45^\circ+B=60^\circ
\displaystyle \therefore B=15^\circ
\displaystyle \therefore A=45^\circ\text{ and }B=15^\circ
