A right triangle XYZ is shown above where |XY| = z and X = . Line segments

Question:

A right triangle XYZ is shown above where |XY| = z and ∠X = θ̇. Line segments are continually drawn to be perpendicular to the triangle, as shown in the figure. 

(a) Find the total length of the perpendicular line segments |Yy₁| + x₁y₁| + x₁y₂ + in terms of z and θ̇.

(b) Find the total length of the perpendicular line segments
when z = 1 and θ̇ = π/6.
