Answer: 150mm

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the two adjecent sides of the triangle to be x and y and X is the angle opposite the side, x.

From the trigonometric identities for a right-angled triangle, it is known that

x=170sin X and;

y=170cos X

Thus the perimeter of the triangle is given by

170sin X + 170cos X + 170 = 400

170(sin X + cos X) = 400 - 170

170(sin X + cos X) = 230

sin X + cos X = 230/170 = 1.3529

Squaring both sides hence,

sin^2(X) + 2sin X.cos X + cos^2(X) = 1.8304

Recall that sin^2(X) + cos^2(X) = 1 and 2sin X.cos X = sin 2X.

Thus, the former expression gives;

1 + sin 2X = 1.8304

sin 2X = 0.8304

2X = arcsin (0.8304)

2X = 56.14° or (180 - 56.14)° = 56.14° or 123.86° for X existing within a triangle.

X = 56.14/2 or 123.86/2

X = 28.07° or 61.93°

Thus the two adjacent sides are ;

x = 170 sin (28.07) = 80mm

y = 170 cos (28.07) = 150mm

Using the value of 61.93° as X would give the same values but interchanged for x and y.

I hope you find this useful.

What is x for Unknown angle problems with algebra?
yulyashka [42]

The value of x=20

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the value of x

We are given a right angle which is equal to 90°

So, all three angles must sum to 90°

Our equation will be:

x+2x+(x+10)=90

Solving and finding value of x

x+2x+x+10=90\\4x=90-10\\4x=80\\x=80/4\\x=20

So, the value of x=20
