In the adjoining figure(below)
CZ is perpendicular to XY and the ratio of AZ to ZB is 1:2. The angle ACX is α and the angle BCY is β. Find an expression for the angle AZC in terms of α and β.
By using the sine rule (in my opinion, which can be used here):
AZsin(90∘−α)=ZCsin∠ACB=ACsin∠AZC.........(1)
BZsin(90∘−β)=ZCsin∠ABC=BCsin(π−AZC)=sin∠AZC..........(2)
Now AZZB=12(Given)
AZZCZBZC=12........(3)
Using (1),(2) and (3), we get,
ACBC=sin∠ABCsin∠CAB= 12⋅cosβcosα
Again ∠CAB+∠ABC=α+β(by careful observation)
Again using cosine rule on ΔACZ, we get
√AC2+ZC2−2AC⋅ZC⋅sinα=AZ
Putting value of AZ above in (1), we get,
√AC2+ZC2−2AC⋅ZC⋅sinαcosα=ACsin∠AZC
But here I am stuck as I think I am going somewhere else. Please give me any suggestion, idea or directly, the answer(if you'd actually do that I'll be obliged)
The probable solution is below:
Answer
Your solution looks good to me.
