So this is considered a special triangle. With the 30-60-90 triangle, if the short leg is x, then the hypotenuse is 2x and the longer leg is x√3.
Using what we have, if you divide the hypotenuse by 2, you will get 8√3, which will be y in this case.
With the longer leg, multiply 8√3 by √3 (remember that 2 square roots of the same number will turn out to be that number) and your answer will be 24, which is x in this case.
In short, x = 24, y = 8√3
