Answer

cos⁡x=14559\cos x = \frac{14}{\sqrt{559}}

sin⁡y=32\sin y = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}

tan⁡x=11314\tan x = \frac{11\sqrt{3}}{14}

Step-by-step solution

2 steps

Here are the values from the triangle:

  1. Find the length of the altitude AD\text{AD}.

    In the right-angled triangle ABD\text{ABD}, we use the Pythagorean theorem:

    AB2=AD2+BD2\text{AB}^2 = \text{AD}^2 + \text{BD}^2 222=AD2+11222^2 = \text{AD}^2 + 11^2 484=AD2+121484 = \text{AD}^2 + 121 AD2=484−121\text{AD}^2 = 484 - 121 AD2=363\text{AD}^2 = 363 AD=363=121×3=113\text{AD} = \sqrt{363} = \sqrt{121 \times 3} = 11\sqrt{3}
  2. Find the length of AC\text{AC}.

    In the right-angled triangle ACD\text{ACD}, we use the Pythagorean theorem:

    AC2=AD2+CD2\text{AC}^2 = \text{AD}^2 + \text{CD}^2 AC2=(113)2+142\text{AC}^2 = (11\sqrt{3})^2 + 14^2 AC2=363+196\text{AC}^2 = 363 + 196 AC2=559\text{AC}^2 = 559 AC=559\text{AC} = \sqrt{559}

    Now we can find the required trigonometric values:

    1. cos⁡x\cos x: In the right-angled triangle ACD\text{ACD}:

      cos⁡x=AdjacentHypotenuse=CDAC\cos x = \frac{\text{Adjacent}}{\text{Hypotenuse}} = \frac{\text{CD}}{\text{AC}} cos⁡x=14559\cos x = \frac{14}{\sqrt{559}} cos⁡x=14559\boxed{\cos x = \frac{14}{\sqrt{559}}}
    2. sin⁡y\sin y: In the right-angled triangle ABD\text{ABD}:

      sin⁡y=OppositeHypotenuse=ADAB\sin y = \frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Hypotenuse}} = \frac{\text{AD}}{\text{AB}} sin⁡y=11322\sin y = \frac{11\sqrt{3}}{22} sin⁡y=32\boxed{\sin y = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}
    3. tan⁡x\tan x: In the right-angled triangle ACD\text{ACD}:

      tan⁡x=OppositeAdjacent=ADCD\tan x = \frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Adjacent}} = \frac{\text{AD}}{\text{CD}} tan⁡x=11314\tan x = \frac{11\sqrt{3}}{14} tan⁡x=11314\boxed{\tan x = \frac{11\sqrt{3}}{14}}
