Answer:
[tex]x=8,\\y\approx 6.9[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The side lengths of all 30-60-90 triangles are in ratio [tex]x:x\sqrt{3}:2x}[/tex], where [tex]2x[/tex] is the hypotenuse of the triangle and [tex]x[/tex] is the side opposite to the 30 degree angle.
In the given diagram, the side labelled 4 is opposite to the 30 degree angle. Since [tex]x[/tex] is labelled as the hypotenuse of the triangle, [tex]x[/tex] must be [tex]4\cdot 2=\boxed{8}[/tex].
Variable [tex]y[/tex] must then represent [tex]x\sqrt{3}[/tex] for [tex]x=4[/tex], yielding [tex]y=4\sqrt{3}\approx \boxed{6.9}[/tex]
