By using trigonometric relations, we will see that:

AC = 15.6 in

AB = 8.4 in.

<h3>How to get the measures of the other two sides of the right triangle?</h3>

Here we have the right triangle where:

B = 90°

C = 40°

BC = 10 in.

Notice that is the adjacent cathetus to the angle C, then we can use the two relations:

  • sin(a) = (adjacent cathetus)/(hypotenuse).
  • tan(a) = (opposite cathetus)/(adjacent cathetus).

Where:

  • hypotenuse = AC
  • opposite cathetus = AB.

Then we will have:

sin(40°) = 10in/AC.

AC = 10in/sin(40°) = 15.6 in

tan(40°) = AB/10in

tan(40°)*10in = AB = 8.4 in.

So we can conclude that for the given right triangle we have:

AC = 15.6 in

AB = 8.4 in.

If w= the weight of trout. Which algebraic expression represents the phrase below?
konstantin123 [22]

Product means multiplication.

Given w= weight of a trout.

So, we need to convert "product of 16 and weight of trout: w " into an algebraic expression.

So, product of 16 and w can be written as 16*w or simply 16w.

Hence, B is the correct choice.
