Question

Solve the right triangle​ ABC, with Upper C equals 90 degrees. C=90°.

A = 57 Degrees 16', c = 8.4 ft

n the right triangle​ ABC, with C = 90

B = 32 degrees 44'

What is is the length of side a = and of side b =

Answer 1

Hello Charles,

Draw the right triangle and put the numbers you have in your diagram.

You can use the basic trig. functions to find the two missing sides. To find a, notice that a is opposite the angle A and 8.4 is the hypotenuse.

sin A = opposite/hypotenuse

Substitute in angle A and the hypotenuse c and you will be able to solve for side a.

See if you an finish that one and then use a similar method to find b.
