Question

How would I find the values of x, y and z?

Answer 1

x = 3.38

y = 9.24

z = 8

Explanation:

first: solve for the vertical length

8√2² = 2z²

128 = 2z²

z² = 64

z = 8

vertical height = 8 also because z is one side of a square

tan 60 = z/a = 8/a

a = 4.62

x = 8 - 4.62 = 3.38

sin 60 = z/y = 8/y

y = 9.24
