Question

In ΔABC, BC = 12 and tan B = 0.58333. What is the length of the hypotenuse, to the nearest tenth?

Answer 1

Is there a pic showing ABC? it will be evil if BC is the hypotenuse itself lol

assuming dats not the case here,

tan B = CA/BC

so 0.58333 = CA/12

CA = 69.9996

the hypotenuse, AB = sqrt (12^2 + 69.9996^2)

= 71.02

= 71.0
