Part a· 2 steps
Calculate $|MZ|$
Identify the relevant right-angled triangle and trigonometric ratio.
In the right-angled triangle , we know the adjacent side cm and the angle . We want to find the opposite side . We use the tangent function.
Substitute the known values and solve for $|MZ|$.
Rounding to two decimal places:
Part b
Hence write down the value of and Calculate
Write down the value of $|XZ|$.
Since is the mid-point of , the length of is twice the length of .
Rounding to two decimal places:
Calculate .
Consider the larger right-angled triangle . We know the opposite side cm and the adjacent side cm for the angle .
Find the angle .
Calculate .
From the diagram, .
So, .Rounding to one decimal place:
