Math Problem Statement

Solve for x, y, and z. Leave your answers in simplified radical form (no decimals).

Solution

The image you provided shows a right triangle with sides labeled xx, yy, and zz. The lengths of the triangle's sides appear to be z=20z = 20, y=10y = 10, and you're asked to solve for xx, yy, and zz, with the instructions to leave your answers in simplified radical form (no decimals).

To proceed, I need to identify if there's enough information to use the Pythagorean theorem or any other relationships. Let's focus on solving for xx and checking if the problem involves trigonometry or other properties.

I’ll begin by considering the Pythagorean theorem for right triangles:

x2+y2=z2x^2 + y^2 = z^2

With y=10y = 10 and z=20z = 20, we can substitute these values into the equation:

x2+102=202x^2 + 10^2 = 20^2 x2+100=400x^2 + 100 = 400 x2=400100=300x^2 = 400 - 100 = 300 x=300=100×3=103x = \sqrt{300} = \sqrt{100 \times 3} = 10\sqrt{3}

So, the value of x=103x = 10\sqrt{3}.

Now, yy and zz are already given as 10 and 20 respectively.

Would you like me to explore any further details or clarify any part of the process?
