Answer: 8.48 Feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem, A^2 + B^2 = C^2

A^2 + B^2 = C^2

A^2 + 3^2 = 9^2

A^2 + 9 = 81

81 - 9 = A^2

72 = A^2

√72 = A

8.48 = A

Hope this helps!

What is the measure of angle A, in degrees?

juin [17]

96°.

Since sides AB and AC ane equal, that means that angle B is equal to angle C. The measurement of all the angles of a triangle always equals 180°, so if you add angles B and C, you should get 84° and then you should be able to find angle A. Subtract 84° from 180° and you should get 96°.
