Answer:

x=8.6 m, and x=7.9 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, I think I can help you with this

this is a right triangle, which means we can use a trigonometric relationship that relates the angle, the hypotenuse and the opposite side

Let's remember

sin(\alpha )=\frac{opposite\ side}{hypotenuse} \\and\\cos(\alpha)=\frac{adjacent\ side}{hypotenuse} \\

Step 1

P.41

Let

α=35 degrees

hypotenuse= 15m

opposite side =unknown= x

replacing

sin(\alpha )=\frac{opposite\ side}{hypotenuse} \\sin(35)=\frac{x}{15\ m}\\ to\ isolate\ x, multiply\ each\ side by\ 15 m\\15 m*sin(35)=x\\x=15\ m*(0.57)\\x=8.6\ m\\

Step 2

(second triangle p.42)

Let

α=44 degrees

hypotenuse= 11 ft

adjacent side =unknown= x

replacing

cos(\alpha )=\frac{adjacent\ side}{hypotenuse} \\cos(44)=\frac{x}{11\ ft}\\ to\ isolate\ x, multiply\ each\ side by\ 11 ft\\11 ft*cos(44)=x\\x=11\ ft*(0.71)\\x=7.9\ ft\\

I hope it helps, have a nice day

From the law of sines, we have

l = h\sin(\theta) = h\cos(\alpha)

where l is the leg we're interested in, h is the hypothenuse, \theta is the angle opposite to l, and \alpha is the angle between l and h.

So, in the first case, we can use

x = 15\sin(35) \approx 8.6

And in the second excercise, we use

x = 11\cos(44) \approx 7.6
