Answer:
1. 7.1 cm
2. 10.9 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
1. You know the legs of a right triangle must be shorter than the hypotenuse. The only answer choice shorter than 8 cm is 7.1 cm.
__
2. By the Law of Sines, ...
AB/AC = sin(ACB)/sin(B)
AB = AC·sin(72°)/sin(38°) = 1.545·AC
The approximate value of AC from problem 1 is sufficient to get you close to the answer.
AB ≈ 7.1×1.545 ≈ 10.9 . . . cm
