Answer:
XY = 18
Step-by-step explanation:
The figures are similar so the ratios of corresponding sides are equal, that is
= 
, substitute values
= 
( cross- multiply )
10 XY = 180 ( divide both sides by 10 )
XY = 18
Answer:
$48
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
8/17
Step-by-step explanation:
The correct and complete question is:
<em>Use △XYZ, in which ∠X is a right angle and tanY=8/15. What is the ratio for sinY?</em>
From definition:
tan(Y) = opposite/adjacent
From the graph and the question:
tan(Y) = XZ/XY = 8/15
Then:
XZ = 8 and XY = 15. Using pytaghorean theorem:
XZ² + XY² = YZ²
8² + 15² = YZ²
√289 = YZ
17 = YZ
From definition:
sin(Y) = opposite/hypotenuse
From the graph:
sin(Y) = XZ/YZ
sin(Y)= 8/17
Quadrant Four (IV) since the x coordinate is a positive and the y coordinate is a negative.
the answer is 4.36yds. 4.36 ×4.36= 19.006
