“Since you have posted a question with multiple sub-parts, we will solve first three subparts for you. To get remaining sub-part solved please repost the complete question and mention the sub-parts to be solved.”. 

Given,

A right angle triangle with sides are x, y  and  z  and one angle is α 

Other right angle triangle with sides are q, r  and  s  and one angle is α 

We have to solve for part 1, 2, and 3  .
