Right Angle Sides
1. **Problem Statement:**
Find the lengths of the sides labeled $y$ and $z$ in two right-angled triangles where each triangle has a given side length adjacent to a given angle.
2. **Triangle (c):**
Given side adjacent to $25^\circ$ is 13 cm, and the opposite side is $y$.
Using the tangent function (opposite/adjacent), we have:
$$ \tan 25^\circ = \frac{y}{13} $$
Multiply both sides by 13:
$$ y = 13 \tan 25^\circ $$
Calculate:
$$ y \approx 13 \times 0.4663 = 6.0629 $$
So, $y \approx 6.06$ cm.
3. **Triangle (d):**
Given side adjacent to $29^\circ$ is 14 cm, and the opposite side is $z$.
Using the tangent function:
$$ \tan 29^\circ = \frac{z}{14} $$
Multiply both sides by 14:
$$ z = 14 \tan 29^\circ $$
Calculate:
$$ z \approx 14 \times 0.5543 = 7.7602 $$
So, $z \approx 7.76$ cm.
**Final Answers:**
$$ y \approx 6.06 \text{ cm}, \quad z \approx 7.76 \text{ cm} $$
