SOH CAH TOA tells you

... cos(B) = a/c

... 4/5 = 8/c

... c = 10 . . . . . multiply by 5c/4

By the Pythagorean theorem,

... b = √c² -a²) = √(10² -8²) = √36 = 6

The lengths of the other two sides are: b = 6, c = 10.

_____

You can tell from the value of the cosine that this is a 3-4-5 right triangle. You can tell from the value of "a" that the scale factor is 2. That means the other two sides are 6 and 10.

The perimeter of a triangle is 140 cm the length of the second side is twice the length of the first side the length of the thir
kykrilka [37]

Perimeter = 140

Side 1 = x

Side 2 = 2x

Side 3 = 3x - 10

x + 2x + 3x - 10 = 140

6x - 10 = 140

6x = 150

x = 25

Side 1 = 25 cm

Side 2 = 50 cm

Side 3 = 65 cm

Hope this helps!! :)
