And x is 6.1?

Answer 7

tan = opposite/adjacent

tan 42 = 12/w

Answer 8

\[\{w=12 \text{ Cot}[42{}^{\circ}],w+z=12 \text{ Cot}[27{}^{\circ}]\} \]\[\{w=12 \text{ Cot}[42 {}^{\circ}],z=12 \text{ Cot}[27 {}^{\circ}]-12 \text{ Cot}[42 {}^{\circ}]\}\]

Answer 9

Sorry, the variable z should have been written as x.

Answer 10

\[\{w=13.3274,x=10.224\} \]
