I need to find out x y and z and am very lost and confused please help!
I need to find out x y and z and am very lost and confused please help!
I dont know the answer becouse im not there but i can show you how to get the answer..
you know the rulers the are half way cut?use that and measure each angle
(i hope i helped!)
x^2 = 6^2 + 17^2
x^2 = 36 + 289
x^2 = 325
x =
18.0277563773
1/2 Vertex angle = arc tan (6/17)
1/2 Vertex angle = arc tan (0.3529411765
)
1/2 Vertex angle = 19.44 Degrees
So, the other "half of the vertex angle = 90 - 19.44 degrees = 70.56
cosine (70.56) = 17 / z
z = 17 / cosine (70.56)
z = 17 / 0.33282
z =
51.0786611382
half of y^2 =
51.0786611382^2 - 17^2
half of y^2 =
2609.0296236711
-289
half of y^2 =
2,320.03
half of y = 48.1666858282
y = 48.1666858282
