Question

Solve this triangle, by finding each unknown side or angle. Include a triangle summary. Need help please! this is trigonometry btw!

Answer 1

Use your SOH CAH TOA functions to find the missing legs. Do Sin(53.1) and that is equal to opposite (PU) over hypotenuse (UG) so to solve for the PU leg just set up an equation that says sin(53.1)=PU/36 so then you can just multiply the 36 over and that gives you the leg. To find PG do adjacent over hypotenuse so Cosine, cos(53.1)=PG/36 and again just multiply over the 36 and that gives you PG
