If , AC=6 and the angle α=40∘, find any missing angles or sides. Give your answer to at least 3 decimal digits.

Question

It comes with a right triangle figure to refer to but I'm not sure how to upload a photo. Basically, it has A, B and C. B is where the right angle. A's angle is represented by an α and angle C is presented by a β.

Answer 1

From your description AC would be the hypotenuse of the right triangle

You can calculate CB using sin40= CB/6. CB =6(Sin40)

You can calculate AB using cos40= AB/6. AB=6(Cos40)

The missing angle is 50 In a right triangle the two other angles add up to 90 In this case the missing angle is 90-40=50
