Answer:
- YZ = 8.5
- ∠X = 70.5°
- ∠Z = 19.5°
Step-by-step explanation:
There are a couple of ways to do this. We can find YZ using the Pythagorean theorem, or we can find it using trig functions.
We know from SOH CAH TOA that ...
Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse
cos(X) = 3/9 = 1/3
X = arccos(1/3) ≈ 70.5°
Angle Z is the complement of this, so is ...
Z = 90° -70.5° = 19.5°
__
The length of side YZ can be found from ...
Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse
sin(X) = YZ/XZ
YZ = XZ·sin(X) = 9·sin(70.5°) ≈ 8.485 ≈ 8.5
__
In summary, ...
YZ = 8.5; ∠X = 70.5°; ∠Z = 19.5°
