1. **State the problem:** We have a right triangle with hypotenuse 13, an angle of 35°, and sides labeled $x$ (horizontal) and $y$ (vertical). We need to find $x$ and $y$ rounded to 2 decimal places.
2. **Formula and rules:** In a right triangle, the side opposite an angle is related to the hypotenuse by sine, and the side adjacent is related by cosine:
$$\sin(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$$
$$\cos(\theta) = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$$
Here, $\theta = 35^\circ$, opposite side is $y$, adjacent side is $x$, and hypotenuse is 13.
3. **Calculate $y$:**
$$y = 13 \times \sin(35^\circ)$$
Calculate $\sin(35^\circ)$:
$$\sin(35^\circ) \approx 0.574$$
So,
$$y = 13 \times 0.574 = 7.462$$
Rounded to 2 decimal places:
$$y \approx 7.46$$
4. **Calculate $x$:**
$$x = 13 \times \cos(35^\circ)$$
Calculate $\cos(35^\circ)$:
$$\cos(35^\circ) \approx 0.819$$
So,
$$x = 13 \times 0.819 = 10.647$$
Rounded to 2 decimal places:
$$x \approx 10.65$$
5. **Final answers:**
$$x = 10.65, \quad y = 7.46$$
