z = in.
A right triangle. One angle measures 37 degrees. The side adjacent to the 37-degree angle measures 10 inches. The hypotenuse is labeled as z.

Respuesta :

Answer:

z = 12.53 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A right triangle. One angle measures 37 degrees. The side adjacent to the 37-degree angle measures 10 inches. The hypotenuse is labeled as z.

TO find : What is the value of z in the triangle? Enter your answer in the box. Round your final answer to the nearest hundredth.

Solution : We have given that a right triangle with one angle 37 degree and  

side adjacent of 37 degree = 10 inches

Hypotenuse =  z

By the cosine ration :

Cos (Ф) = [tex]\frac{adjecent\ side}{hypotneuse}[/tex]

plugging the values of adjacent side and hypotenuse

Cos (37) = [tex]\frac{10}{z}[/tex]

On multiplying both side by z

z (0.798) = 10

On dividing by 0.798 both sides

z = [tex]\frac{10}{0.798}[/tex]

z = 12.53 inches.

Therefore, z = 12.53 inches.

Applying the trigonometry ratio, CAH, the value of z is: 12.5 inches.

Trigonometry Ratios

Trigonometry ratio for solving a right triangle is given as SOH CAH TOA.

Thus:

  • Reference angle (∅) = 37°
  • Adjacent = 10 inches
  • Hypotenuse = z inches

Apply CAH:

Cos ∅ = adj/hyp

  • Substitute

cos 37 = 10/z

z = 10/(cos 37)

z = 12.5 inches.
