Math Problem Statement

Find the values of x, y, and z for a series of triangles using trigonometric rules and theorems.

Solution

I see that you've uploaded a worksheet with five triangle problems, and each asks for the values of xx, yy, and zz. I'll go through each problem and help you solve them.

Problem 1

In this triangle, we can use trigonometric ratios (sine, cosine, or tangent) because one angle is known and two sides are given.

  • Given:
    • Angle θ=20\theta = 20^\circ
    • Opposite side = 10
    • Adjacent side = zz

We can use tangent here: tan(20)=oppositeadjacent=10z\tan(20^\circ) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} = \frac{10}{z} From this, we can solve for zz. Similarly, using sine or cosine, we can find xx and yy.

Problem 2

This appears to be a right triangle, where:

  • yy is opposite to the right angle.
  • One side is xx, and the other side is 6.
  • The hypotenuse zz can be found using the Pythagorean theorem: x2+62=z2x^2 + 6^2 = z^2

Problem 3

This triangle also involves trigonometric identities, as one angle is 6565^\circ, and two sides are given. We will proceed similarly by applying the tangent or cosine rule.

Problem 4

In this triangle:

  • We have xx, yy, and zz all labeled, and we will use the given values to solve using appropriate rules of trigonometry.
