Question

Solve for the 3 sides

Answer 1

Answer:

1. x = 2√3 or 3.46

2. y = 4√3 or 6.93

3. z = 4√6 or 9.80

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Determination of the value of x.

Angle (θ) = 60°

Opposite = 6

Adjacent = x

Tan θ = Opposite /Adjacent

Tan 60 = 6 / x

√3 = 6/x

Cross multiply

x√3 = 6

Divide both side by √3

x = 6 / √3

Rationalise

x = (6 / √3) × (√3/√3)

x = 6√3 / 3

x = 2√3 or 3.46

2. Determination of the value of y.

Angle (θ) = 60°

Opposite = 6

Hypothenus = y

Sine θ = Opposite /Hypothenus

Sine 60 = 6/y

√3/2 = 6/y

Cross multiply

y√3 = 2 × 6

y√3 = 12

Divide both side by √3

y = 12/√3

Rationalise

y = (12 / √3) × (√3/√3)

y = 12√3 / 3

y = 4√3 or 6.93

3. Determination of the value of z.

Angle (θ) = 45°

Opposite = y = 4√3

Hypothenus = z

Sine θ = Opposite /Hypothenus

Sine 45 = 4√3 / z

1/√2 = 4√3 / z

Cross multiply

z = √2 × 4√3

z = 4√6 or 9.80
