Answer:
Explanation:
1) tan45 = x/10
x = 10(tan45) = 10
cos45 = 10/y
y = 10/(cos45) = 14.14
2) cos26 = 8/x
x = 8/cos26 = 8.9
3) sin60 = y/12
y = 12(sin60) = 10.4
cos60 = x/12
x = 12(cos60) = 6
4) Draw a line from top of triangle straight down and perpendicular to the 15 leg, label it z. This divides the 15 leg into 2 segments: y and (15-y).
cos89 = y/12
y = 12(cos89) = 0.21
sin89 = z/12
z = 12
15 - 0.21 = 14.79
Now you can solve for x:
x² = 14.79² + 12²
x =
= 19
