Question

Find m∠G, rounded to the nearest degree

Answer 1

Answer:

d. $62\degree$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle is a right triangle with all the sides given.

We can use any of the trigonometric ratios to find m<G.

Recall the mnemonics. SOH CAH TOA

Let us use the sine ratio.

$\sin(m\angle G)=\frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}$

$\sin(m\angle G)=\frac{15}{17}$

$m\angle G=\sin^{-1}(\frac{15}{17})$

$m\angle G=61.9$

$m\angle G=62\degree$ to the nearest degree.
