Question

Find XZ.Write your answer as an integer or as a decimal rounded to the nearest tenth. XZ = ____

Answer 1

Given:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Side XY=7} \\ \angle Z=90^(\circ) \\ \angle X=35^(\circ) \end{gathered}`

As, this is right angled triangle

`\begin{gathered} \text{SideXZ}=\text{side XY}\cdot\cos (35^(\circ)) \\ =7\cdot0.8192 \\ =5.7344 \end{gathered}`

So, the side XZ = 5.7 ( nearest to tenth)
