In a ∆ XYZ, /YZ/ = 6cm YXZ = 60o and XYZ is a right angle. Calculate /XZ/in cm, leaving your answer in surd form
- 2√3
-
4√3
- 6√3
- 12√3
The correct answer is: B
Explanation
sin 60^o = \frac{|YZ|}{|XZ|}=\frac{6}{P}\\
P sin 60^o = 6\\
P = \frac{6}{sin60^o}\\
=\frac{6}{\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}}}=4\sqrt{3}\)
