When you have two parallel lines being cut by a transversal, you can use the next statements for the angles:
The measurement of the angles in green is the same (are congruents)
The measurement of the angles in blue is the same (are congruents)
An angle in green is a complementary angle with an angle in blue. (The addition of the two angles has to be 180º)
You know that:
As the angle 3 is congruent with angle 2:
Answer:
Y = 28.31
Z = 13.29
Angle A = 28
Step-by-step explanation:
For Angle A:
Remember a triangle has a total of 180 degree angles. So set up your formula as
180 - 62 -90 = Angle A
For Y:
The sine of an angle is equal to the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse.
sin (B) = opp/hyp or b/c or (y)
sinB = 62
b = 25
Rewrite as c=b/2SinB -> c=25/sin62 -> Y = 28.31
For Z:
Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the unknown side.
z = 13.29
