Answer 1

Answer:

See below for an explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm unsure of your answer choices, so I'll show you how to solve for the remainder of the whole triangle:

Since we are given a hypotenuse of 5 and a side length of 4 which is adjacent to ∅, the trig function to solve for ∅ would be cosine because cos∅=adjacent/hypotenuse (SOHCAHTOA). This means cos∅=4/5 and taking the arccos (the inverse of cosine aka. cos^-1) of both sides gets us ∅=36.87°

Side AC can be solved by using the Pythagorean Theorem since a²+b²=c² can be turned into 4²+b²=5². We would then have 16+b²=25 which is also b²=9, thus taking the square root of both sides gives us b=3 (since distance is positive). Thus, side AC has a length of 3 units.

∠A can be found by using the Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem. Since all the interior angles of a triangle must add up to 180°, then ∠A+∠B+∠C=180°. We know that since ∠B=36.87° and ∠C=90°, then we have the equation ∠A+36.87°+90°=180°. Combining like terms on the left side gets us ∠A+126.87°=180° and subtracting on both sides get us ∠A=53.13°

Final sides and angles of the triangle:

∠A=53.13°

∠B=36.87°

∠C=90°

BC=4

BA=5

AC=3
