Answer:

1. 6.69ft

2. x=33.5

3. x=14.0

4. x=12

Explanation:

Use the sine ratio to find y.

Recall the mnemonics SOH-CAH-TOA


\sin \theta =(Opposite)/(Hypotenuse)

Substitute the values to get:


\sin 26.5\degree =(y)/(15)

Solve for y


y=15\sin 26.5\degree


y=6.69ft

2. Apply the sine ratio again


\sin \x=(Opposite)/(Hypotenuse)

Substitute the values to get:


\sin \x=(32)/(58)


\sin \x=0.5517


x=\sin^(-1)(0.5517)


x=33.5\degree

3. Apply the tangent ratio


\tan x=(Opposite)/(Adjacent)

Substitute the values to get


\tan x=(5)/(20)


\tan x=(1)/(4)


\tan x=0.25


x=\tan {-1}(0.25)


x=14.0\degree

4. This is an isosceles right triangle. Therefore the second leg is also
6√(2)

Now apply the Pythagoras Theorem to obtain:


x^2=(6√(2))^2+(6√(2))^2


x^2=72+72


x^2=144\implies x=12
