Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Relate trigonometric ratios to the sides of the triangle.

    From the given right-angled triangle:
    For angle θ\theta:
    The side opposite to θ\theta is yy.
    The hypotenuse is zz.
    Therefore, the definition of sin⁡θ\sin \theta is:

    sin⁡θ=OppositeHypotenuse=yz\sin \theta = \frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Hypotenuse}} = \frac{y}{z}

    For angle ϕ\phi:
    The side adjacent to ϕ\phi is yy.
    The hypotenuse is zz.
    Therefore, the definition of cos⁡ϕ\cos \phi is:

    cos⁡ϕ=AdjacentHypotenuse=yz\cos \phi = \frac{\text{Adjacent}}{\text{Hypotenuse}} = \frac{y}{z}
  2. State the given trigonometric values.

    The problem provides:

    sin⁡θ=35\sin \theta = \frac{3}{5} cos⁡ϕ=1213\cos \phi = \frac{12}{13}
  3. Identify the inconsistency in the given information.

    From Step 1, we established that for this specific triangle, sin⁡θ=yz\sin \theta = \frac{y}{z} and cos⁡ϕ=yz\cos \phi = \frac{y}{z}.
    This implies that sin⁡θ\sin \theta must be equal to cos⁡ϕ\cos \phi.
    However, comparing the given values from Step 2:

    35≠1213\frac{3}{5} \neq \frac{12}{13}

    (since 3×13=393 \times 13 = 39 and 5×12=605 \times 12 = 60, so 39≠6039 \neq 60).
    This indicates a contradiction in the problem statement.

  4. Confirm the inconsistency using angle relationships in a right triangle.

    In a right-angled triangle, the sum of the two acute angles is 90∘90^\circ.
    Thus, θ+ϕ=90∘\theta + \phi = 90^\circ.
    This means ϕ=90∘−θ\phi = 90^\circ - \theta.
    Using the trigonometric identity cos⁡(90∘−θ)=sin⁡θ\cos(90^\circ - \theta) = \sin \theta, we can confirm that cos⁡ϕ\cos \phi must be equal to sin⁡θ\sin \theta for the angles in the same right triangle.
    Since the given values 35\frac{3}{5} and 1213\frac{12}{13} are not equal, the problem's conditions are contradictory.

  5. Conclude.

    Due to the contradictory information provided (sin⁡θ≠cos⁡ϕ\sin \theta \neq \cos \phi when they should be equal for the given triangle), it is not possible to determine unique values for xx, yy, and zz that satisfy both conditions simultaneously.

    The problem contains contradictory information, so unique values for x,y,zx, y, z cannot be determined.
