Hey there! I'm happy to help!

To find this other side given an angle and a side, we will use a trigonometric function. The three basic ones are sine, cosine, and tangent. You can remember these and what what they are using the mnemonic "soh cah toa".

SOH: Sine= Opposite/Hypotenuse

CAH: Cosine= Adjacent/Hypotenuse

TOA: Tangent= Opposite/Adjacent

We see that the sides involved are the opposite and hypotenuse.

Therefore, we can write this equation.

sin40= w/28

We multiply both sides by 28 to isolate the w.

28×sin40=w

Now, we find the sine of 40 on our calculator and then we multiply it by 28.

w≈18

Therefore, the answer is 18 cm.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!

An isosceles triangle has a perimeter of 36 inches. Its base is 2

astra-53 [7]

The lengths of the sides of the triangle are 8, 8, 20

Explanation:

Given that the perimeter of an isosceles triangle is 36 inches.

The base of the triangle is $2\frac{1}{2}$ times longer than each of its legs.

We need to determine the lengths of the sides of the triangle.

<u>Lengths of the sides:</u>

Let x denote the lengths of the sides of the triangle.

The base of the triangle is given by

$2\frac{1}{2}x=\frac{5}{2}x=2.5x$

Perimeter of the isosceles triangle = Sum of the three sides of the triangle.

Thus, we have,

$36=x+x+2.5x$

$36=4.5x$

$8=x$

Thus, the length of the sides of the isosceles triangle is 8 inches.

Base of the triangle = $2.5(8)=20 \ inches$

Hence, the three sides of the isosceles triangle are 8, 8, 20
