Answer:
AB = 75
BC = 60
AC = 45
m∠A = 53°
m∠B = 37°
m∠C = 90°
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Trigonometric ratios</u>
where:
is the angle
- O is the side opposite the angle
- A is the side adjacent the angle
- H is the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle)
Given:
Therefore:
- side opposite angle A = BC = 60
- side adjacent angle A = AC = 45
To find the length of AB (the hypotenuse), use Pythagoras’ Theorem:
(where a and b are the legs, and c is the hypotenuse, of a right triangle)
⇒ AC² + BC² = AB²
⇒ 45² + 60² = AB²
⇒ AB² = 5625
⇒ AB = √5625
⇒ AB = 75
To find m∠A:
m∠C = 90° (as it is a right angle)
The interior angles of a triangle sum to 180°
⇒ m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°
⇒ 53° + m∠B + 90° = 180°
⇒ m∠B = 180° - 53° - 90°
⇒ m∠B = 37°
The area of the triangle ABC is 207.5 square units.
Explanation:
The measurements of the sides of the triangle are ,
and
We need to determine the area of the triangle ABC.
<u>Area of the triangle:</u>
The area of the triangle can be determined using the formula,
where ,
and
Substituting these values in the above formula, we get,
Simplifying the values, we get,
Rounding off to the nearest tenth, we get,
Thus, the area of the triangle ABC is 207.5 square units.
