Question 822403: I have to find the value of X, Y, and Z. There is a right triangle with a 60 degree angle with the hypotenuse being Z and the longest side being Y. There is a triangle hooked to that triangle by the shortest side. The angle farthest away is 40 degrees. The base leg is X and the hypotenuse is 4 square root 2.

= cos(40°)
x = 4√2·cos(40°)
x = 4.333401763
= sin(40°)
h = 4√2·sin(40°)
h = 3.636155821
= sin(60°)
z·sin(60°) = h
z =
z =
z = 4.198671085
= tan(60°)
y·tan(60°) = h
y =
y =
y = 2.099335542
