Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve for the first variable in one of the equations, then substitute the result into the other equation.
Add the equations in order to solve for the first variable. Plug this value into the other equations in order to solve for the remaining variables.

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
Recall: SOH CAH TOA
✔️Find <A:
Reference angle (θ) = A
Opposite side = 14 cm
Hypotenuse = 20 cm
Apply SOH:
Sin θ = Opp/Hyp
Substitute
Sin A = 14/20
A =
m<A = 44° (nearest whole number)
✔️Find <C:
Reference angle (θ) = C
Adjacent side = 14 cm
Hypotenuse = 20 cm
Apply CAH:
Cos θ = Adj/Hyp
Substitute
Cos C = 14/20
C =
m<C = 46° (nearest whole number)
✔️Find AB:
Reference angle (θ) = C = 46°
Opposite side = AB
Hypotenuse = 20 cm
Apply SOH:
Sin θ = Opp/Hyp
Sin 46° = AB/20
20*Sin 46° = AB
AB = 14.4 cm (one decimal place)
