I don’t really know exactly to what degree you need to put in your solution. But I rounded to the nearest tenth degree.
A = 112 degrees
B= 28 degrees (180-112-40 bc all sides of a triangle must equal 180)
C= 40
a= 27.6 (this is the side opposite of angle A)
b= 14 (side opposite b)
c= 19.2 (side opposite c)

HOW TO SOLVE:
c= law of sines, so c/sin(40) = 14/sin(28), multiply both sides by sin(40) so c can be isolated and solved for. c = 14sin(40)/sin(28). Plug into calculator then get answer. c is approximately 19.2.
a = law of sines again, so a/sin(112) = 14/sin(28). Multiply both sides again by sin(112) then solve. a = 14sin(112)/sin(28). Calculator again. a is around 27.6

A rectangular pool is 6 meters wide and 8 meters long. If you swim diagonally across the pool, how many meters would you be swim

Vitek1552 [10]

If you swim diagonally across the rectangular pool, the distance you swim is 10 meters.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Width of rectangle = 6 meters

Length of rectangle = 8 meters

To determine the distance you swim in meters, we would apply Pythagorean's theorem since the width is along the x-axis while the length is along the y-axis.

Note: The diagonal side of the rectangular pool represents the hypotenuse.

Mathematically, Pythagorean's theorem is given by the formula:

$Hypotenuse^2 = Opposite^2 + Adjacent^2$
