Describe three ways to determine the measure of segment yz


Asked by maham237 @ in Mathematics viewed by 481 People


Answered by maham237 @



(1) Using trigonometric ratios:
sin(30) = \frac{YZ}{50}
YZ = 25

(2) Using Pythagoras' Theorem:
cos(30) = \frac{XY}{50}
50cos(30) = XY
50^{2} - 50^{2}cos^{2}(30) = YZ^{2}
2500 - 2500cos^{2}(30) = YZ^{2}
YZ = 25

(3) Using sine rule:
\frac{50}{sin(90)} = \frac{YZ}{sin(30)}
50 = \frac{YZ}{sin(30)}
50sin(30) = YZ
YZ = 25
