Answer:

x=10.247

y=52.02

z=37.98

Step-by-step explanation:

For x you use Pythagorean theorem which, in this situation would be 13^2=8^2+x^2 rearranging this we can figure out x by taking the square root of 13^2-8^2.

For y you can use any trig function but I chose to use cos since that uses info we're given, to find y you just do the inverse cos or cos^-1 of 8/13 to find the angle

For z you can use any trig function but I chose to use sin since that uses info we're given, to find z you just do the inverse sin or sin^-1 of 8/13 to find the angle
