Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
To find the length of HJ, we can use different equations as follows:
✔️Recall: SOHCAHTOA
Let's take <G as the reference angle = 28°
Opposite side to reference angle = HJ
Hypotenuse = 20
Apply SOH.
Thus:
Sin 28° = opp/hyp
Sin 28° = HJ/20 (Alex's equation is correct).
Solving further, we would have:
HJ = Sin 28 * 20 ≈ 9.4
✔️Another way is by using <H as the reference angle.
m<H = 180° - (90° + 28°) (sum of triangle)
m<H = 62°
Adjacent side to reference angle (<H) = HJ
Hypotenuse = 20
Apply CAH:
Cos 62° = Adj/Hyp
Cos 62° = HJ/20 (Marlene's equation is correct)
Solving further, we would have,
HJ = Cos 62° * 20 ≈ 9.4
As you can see, the equation of both students are correct. Both would arrive at the same answer using any of the two equations.
