Solve the right triangle for the unknown sides and angles Ro
Solve the right triangle for the unknown sides and angles. Round values to 1 decimal place if necessary.
Solution
14. A = 28 deg c=15
a = c*sin28 = 15*sin28 = 4.1
b = sqrt(c^2 - a^2) =sqrt(15^2 - 4.06^2) = 14.4
Angle C =90
Angle B = 180 -90 - 28 = 62 deg
16. a= 2, b = 8.6
c = sqrt(a^2 +b^2) = sqrt(2^2 +8.6^2) = 8.83
AngleC =90
Angle B : cosB = a/c
cosB = 2/8.83
B = 76.9 deg
Angle A = 180 -76.91 - 90 = 13.1 deg
