The Law of Sines produces an ambiguous angle result. This means that there are  

2

angles that will correctly solve the equation. For the first triangle, use the first possible angle value.

Solve for the first triangle.

The law of sines is based on the proportionality of sides and angles in triangles. The law states that for the angles of a non-right triangle, each angle of the triangle has the same ratio of angle measure to sine value.

A rectangular picture frame has side lengths of 12 in by 9.5 in what is the length of the diagonal of the picture
OleMash [197]

Answer:

Length of diagonal of picture = 15.30 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Side lengths of picture frame = 12 inches by 9.5 inches

As the picture is rectangular, the diagonal will form hypotenuse of right angled triangle.

Using Pythagorean theorem;

a²+b²=c²

Putting the values in the theorem

(12)^2 + (9.5)^2 = c^2 \\144+90.25=c^2\\c^2 = 234.25

Taking square root on both sides

\sqrt{c^2}=\sqrt{234.25}\\c=15.30

Hence,

Length of diagonal of picture = 15.30 inches

Solve for height using the tangent method. Show your work.
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

b = 17.318    height = 23.318 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

This IS very similar to the other one, Emily..... Have you tried to solve it the same way?

b =   152 tan 6.5  = 17.318 ft      (using a calculator)

    add the height of the victim's head (6 ft)

17.318 + 6 = 23.318 ft
