Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

Find the values of x and y:

Note:The bottom left angle is a right angle (90 $^{\circ}$ ).

{tri2(lent21,lent22,ans22)}

$x$ = Gap 0.mm

$Y$ = Gap 1. $^{\circ}$

Advice

(a)

To find $x$ we can use Pythagoras' Theorem:

$x^2+\var{lent22}^2=\var{lent21}^2$

$x^2=\var{lent21}^2-\var{lent22}^2$

$x=\sqrt{\var{lent21}^2-\var{lent22}^2}=\var{precround({ans22},2)}$ mm

To find $y$ we can use trigonometry as follows:

$\sin(Y) = \frac{\var{lent22}}{\var{lent21}}$

Therefore:

$Y = \sin^{-1}(\frac{\var{lent22}}{\var{lent21}})=\var{precround({ans21},2)}$

(b)

To find $X$ we can use trigonometry as follows:

$\cos(X) = \frac{\var{lent11}}{\var{lent12}}$

Therefore:

$X = \cos^{-1}(\frac{\var{lent11}}{\var{lent12}})=\var{precround({ans12},2)}$

To find $y$ we can use Pythagoras' Theorem:

$y^2+\var{lent11}^2=\var{lent12}^2$

$y^2=\var{lent12}^2-\var{lent11}^2$

$y=\sqrt{\var{lent12}^2-\var{lent11}^2}=\var{precround({ans11},2)}$ mm
