Question 684319: Triangle XYZ is right angles at Y, XY is 45 m YZ is 36 m. Using the given measures find
a) cos Z
b) measure of XY
c) measure the angle of X
d) tan X
e) sin Z
f) tan Z Answer by Edwin McCravy(20056) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Triangle XYZ is right angles at Y, XY is 45 m YZ is 36 m. Using the given measures find
a) cos Z
b) measure of XY
c) measure the angle of X
d) tan X
e) sin Z
f) tan Z
First we find the hypotenuse XZ using the Pythagorean theorem
c² = a² + b² with a = XY, b = YZ, and c = XZ
XZ² = XY² + YZ²
XZ² = 45² + 36²
XZ² = 2025 + 1296
XZ² = 3321
XZ = √3321
XZ = √81·41
XZ = 9√41
a) cos(Z) = = = =
b) measure of XY (That's given as 45m. Did you mean XZ? It's 9√41)
c) measure the angle of X (Find inverse tangent of as 38.66°
d) tan(X) = = =
e) sin(Z) = = = =
f) tan(Z) = = = =
