To solve: The given triangle. (Hint: Draw the altitude from Y .)
Answer to Problem 51E
Explanation of Solution
Given information: Critical Thinking: The triangle:
Calculation:
Drawing the height line, you can solve for it:
We also know that
This means that
You can find the length of XW :
Since we know YW makes a
We know that
We can find angle Z using the height line.
Finally,
Because we know the 2 base parts, then
We know both parts of angle Y , therefore
Thus,
