Answer:

a = √11 and b = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to attached picture for reference

for an right triangle with angle θ

we are given

cos θ = 5/6 = length of adjacent side / length of hypotenuse

hence

adjacent length = 5 units

hypotenuse length = 6 units

the missing side is the "opposite" length which we can find with the Pythagorean equation. in our case:

hypotenuse ² = adjacent ² + opposite²   (rearrange)

opposite ² = hypotenuse ² - adjacent ²

opposite ² = 6² - 5²

opposite = √ (6²-5²) = √11

sin θ = opposite length / hypotenuse  (substitute values above)

sin θ = √11 / 6

hence a = √11 and b = 6

How do I solve this problem ​
Vaselesa [24]
C = 84 degrees

A = 2B
C = A + 20
A + B + C = 180

A = 2B
A/2 = B

A + (A/2) + (A+20) = 180
multiply each side by 2
2A + A + 2A + 40 = 360
combine like terms
5A + 40 = 360
subtract 40 from both sides
5A = 320
divide both sides by 5
A = 64

C = A + 20
C = 64 + 20
C = 84
