Calculate the values of x and y for the given rectangle ABCD, with AB = 3x, BD = y, and angle DAB = 27°.

Solution

The given image presents a rectangle ABCDABCD with an additional diagonal BDBD. The angles and side relationships are labeled as follows:

  • DAB=27\angle DAB = 27^\circ
  • AB=3xAB = 3x
  • BD=yBD = y

The task asks to find the values of xx and yy.

Step-by-step solution:

Since ABCDABCD is a rectangle, we know that the diagonals divide the rectangle into two right triangles. In the triangle ABDABD, the angle DAB=27\angle DAB = 27^\circ, and we can use trigonometry to express the relationships between the sides.

  1. Using Trigonometry:

    In right triangle ABDABD, we can use the trigonometric functions:

    • sin(θ)=oppositehypotenuse\sin(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}
    • cos(θ)=adjacenthypotenuse\cos(\theta) = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}

    Here, AB=3xAB = 3x, AD=xAD = x, and BD=yBD = y.

    Using sin(27)\sin(27^\circ) and cos(27)\cos(27^\circ), we set up the equations:

    sin(27)=ABBD=3xy\sin(27^\circ) = \frac{AB}{BD} = \frac{3x}{y} cos(27)=ADBD=xy\cos(27^\circ) = \frac{AD}{BD} = \frac{x}{y}

  2. Solving for xx and yy:

    Rearranging the first equation:

    y=3xsin(27)y = \frac{3x}{\sin(27^\circ)}

    Rearranging the second equation:

    y=xcos(27)y = \frac{x}{\cos(27^\circ)}

    Now we equate both expressions for yy:

    3xsin(27)=xcos(27)\frac{3x}{\sin(27^\circ)} = \frac{x}{\cos(27^\circ)}

    Simplifying the equation by dividing both sides by xx (assuming x0x \neq 0):

    3sin(27)=1cos(27)\frac{3}{\sin(27^\circ)} = \frac{1}{\cos(27^\circ)}

    Cross-multiplying gives:
