Answer:

cos(B/2) = 2√5 / 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Use half angle formula:

cos²(B/2) = (1 + cos B) / 2

cos²(B/2) = (1 + 3/5) / 2

cos²(B/2) = (8/5) / 2

cos²(B/2) = 4/5

cos(B/2) = 2/√5

cos(B/2) = 2√5 / 5

Say that a and b are the lengths of the legs of a right triangle and c is the length of the hypotenuse. Find b if a = 21 and c =

maria [59]

When the triangle is a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem. The formula would be

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

If a = 21 and c=29, thus

b^2 = c^2 - a^2
b^2 = 29^2 - 21^2
b^2 = 400
b = square root (400)
b = 20 units.

Thus, the answer is D) B = 400
