In Triangle LMN, angle N is a right angle, LM=76 and MN= 40. What is the measure of angle M?

1 answer:

5 0

The quastion is asking us to determine the measure of angle M in a right triangle LMN. We know that angle N is a right angle and that LM = 76 ( Hypotenuse ) and MN = 40 ( Adjacent ). We will use trigonometry: cos M = Adjacent / Hypotenuse = 40 / 76 = 0.5263158; M = cos^(-1) 0.563158; M = 58.242° = 58° 15`. Answer: The measure of angle M is<span> 58°15`.</span>

(3, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

If you create a mini graph, like I did, you would have seen that the middle point is at the co-ordinates (3,6). I have attached a image to this reply, with my "graph". (Sorry if its a little ugly, but that doesn't matter, the math does.)
