Question

Describe the relationship between the lengths of YX and YW .

Answer 1

`(YX)/(YW)=(\sin 61^(\circ))/(\sin 92^(\circ))` or

`(YX)/(YW)\approx 0.875.`

Explanation:

For the triangle XYW use the sine rule:

`(YX)/(\sin 61^(\circ))=(YW)/(\sin 92^(\circ)).`

Thus,

`(YX)/(YW)=(\sin 61^(\circ))/(\sin 92^(\circ)).`

Approximately,

`(YX)/(YW)\approx 0.875.`
