Question
**Question 13:**

The image shows a right-angled triangle with one angle measuring 60 degrees. The triangle is oriented such that:

- The hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) measures 22 units.
- One leg, adjacent to the 60-degree angle, is labeled \( x \).
- The other leg, opposite the 60-degree angle, is labeled \( y \).

The problem likely involves finding the lengths of the unknown sides, \( x \) and \( y \), using trigonometric ratios (sine, cosine, or tangent) or the properties of a 30-60-90 triangle, given the hypotenuse.

**Explanation of the Diagram:**

- The diagram illustrates a right-angled triangle with a right angle at the lower left corner.
- The 60-degree angle is indicated inside the triangle near the bottom right corner.
- The hypotenuse, the side opposite the right angle, is labeled 22 units.
- Side \( x \) is perpendicular to side \( y \).
