In XYZ, |YZ| = 32cm, < YXZ 53\(^o\) and XZY = 90\(^o\). Find, correct to the nearest centimetre, |XZ|
Attached Figure / Diagram
A
31 cm
B
25 cm
C
20 cm
D
13 cm
Verified Correct Answer: B.
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
Tan 52\(^o\) = \(\frac{32}{\text{|XZ|}}\)
|XZ| = \(\frac{32}{Tan 52^o}\)
= 25cm
