x=2 from cross multiplying.
Answer:
XZ = XY+ YZ
8.9=5.5+2c
2c= 8.9-5.5
2c=3.4
c=1.7
YZ = 2c=3.4
Step-by-step explanation:
To find Angle A we use cosine
cos ∅ = adjacent / hypotenuse
From the question
The adjacent is 17
The hypotenuse is 38
So we have
cos A = 17/38
A = cos-¹ 17/38
A = 63.4
<h3>A = 63° to the nearest degree</h3>
To find Angle C we use sine
sin ∅ = opposite / hypotenuse
From the question
The opposite is 17
The hypotenuse is 38
So we have
sin C = 17/38
C = sin-¹ 17/38
C = 26.57
<h3>C = 27° to the nearest degree</h3>
