Question

In triangle ABC, c is the hypotenuse, 0=25°, and b =3, Find the length of c ?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{c\approx3.31}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Use cosine:

$cosine=\dfrac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}$

$\cos\theta=\dfrac{b}{c}$

We have:

$\theta=25^o\to\cos25^o\approx0.9063\\\\b=3$

Substitute:

$\dfrac{3}{c}=0.9063$

$\dfrac{3}{c}=\dfrac{9063}{10000}$          cross multiply

$9063c=30000$          divide both sides by 9063

$c\approx3.31$
