Question

A right triangle has one angle that measure 23o. The adjacent leg measures 27.6 cm and the hypotenuse measures 30 cm.

Answer 1

Answer:

161.8cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

solve for height which is the opposite

opp=x

sin(theata)= opp./hyp.

sin23=x/30

x=30×sin23

x=11.72cm

height=opposite

height=11.72cm

base=adjacent

base=27.6cm

½of 27.6cm=13.8

13.8cm×11.72cm=161.74 (2d.p)

161.74 rounded to the nearest tenths= 161.7

I'm not sure if it's the answer but it's the closest thing to the options
