Y is the middle point of WZ, ok?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\(\triangle WXY\) is a right triangle, right?
You have \(\angle YWX= 15^0\), and WY , use sin to get XY
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\sin(15) = 0.25\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
And??

Do you want me to find sin(56) as well?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
. Oh, I am sorry, I misread, use tan (15) not sin
tan(15) =\(\dfrac{XY}{WY}\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\tan(15) = 0.26\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Compensate, hihihi
XY= tan(15)* WY = 0.2679*28=7.5012
convert to inch, then you get the answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Where did the 28 came from?

56/2 =28 because WY = 1/2 WZ
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Okay, thanks.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It would be C?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Sorry for my mistake. :)
One more thing, have to convert to inch.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I would say D

Oh yeah, round up.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@TwinYang why D?? 7.5.... feet is 7 feet and 0.5 feet, and 0.5 feet = 6 in. Am I right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh yeah I just checked your calculations and i forgot to divide 56 by 2 :P.
