Question

I'll do my best to describe this problem.

Given A=17 degrees, B=73 degrees , x=q, y=5 and z=r use the figure to find the exact value of q and r

x = base
y = leg
z = hypotenuse
a = angle between z and x
b = angle between z and y
90 degree angle = between x and y

Solve for q and r

R =

Q =

Answer 1

\(\bf tan(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{adjacent}\implies tan(A)=\cfrac{5}{q}
\qquad \textit{solve for }q
\\ \quad \\
sin(\theta)=\cfrac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\implies sin(A)=\cfrac{5}{z}\qquad \textit{solve for }z\)
