Given right triangle XYZ, which correctly describes the
2 answers:
Answer:
a is adjacent, b is opposite, c is the hypotenuse
Step-by-step explanation:
A right angled triangle must contain the opposite, the adjacent and the hypotenuse. The opposite is the side that directly faces the angle of interest. The adjacent is the side that is close to the angle of interest.
Given that the angle Y is positioned between X and Z, the point b becomes the opposite of Y. The point a becomes adjacent to angle Y while c remains the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle.
The image below typifies the explanation given above. It shows the relationship between the three sides of the right angled triangle in detail.

The values of x and y are 15 and 7 respectively
The angles formed from the intersection of two lines at X are equal and vertically opposite angles.
From the figure shown, we can conclude that:
2(5x-5) = 6x + 50 (vertically opposite angle)
Expand
10x - 10 = 6x + 50
10x - 6x = 50 + 10
4x = 60
x = 60/4
x =15
Similarly;
5y + 5 = 7y - 9
Collect the like terms;
5y - 7y = -9 - 5
-2y = -14
y = 14/2
y = 7
Hence the values of x and y are 15 and 7 respectively
