* We were given this problem in Trigonometry, and it is not difficult to solve with the Trigonometric functions... I am currently attempting to solve the problem using a modified form of proportionality.


Given that:

Angle A is 14 degrees.

And that Angle D is 34 degrees.

And that the cumulative length of the base of the triangles X and Y is 30 feet,

Find the lengths of the bases (i.e. the relative lengths of the constituent parts of 30) for the triangles X and Y.

Aren't the trigonometric ratios modified proportionalities?
