Answer:
Explanation:
y = √24²+32² = √1600 = 40
find base angle Ф on the right:
Ф = sin⁻¹(32/40) = 53.13
find other base angle (sum of interior angles of a Δ is 180):
180 - 90 - 53.13 = 36.87
now you can use the Law of Sines to find z, x:
40/sin36.87 = z/sin53.13 = (x+24)/sin90
z = 40(sin53.13)/sin36.87 = 53.33
sin36.87(x+24) = 40(sin90)
x+24 = 40/sin36.87 = 66.66
x = 66.67 - 24 = 42.67
double check the answers:
y² + z² = (x+24)²
40² + 53.33² = (42.67 + 24)²
1600 + 2892 = 4444
4444 = 4444 answers are correct!
