Answer:
189in3
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
One leg - 15 inches
Second leg - 36 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
One leg - x inches.
Second leg - (x + 21) inches.
Hypotenuse - 39 inches.
Using Pythagorean theorem
x² + (x + 21)² = 39²
x² + x² + 2*21x + 21² = 39²
2x² + 42x - 39² + 21² = 0
2x² + 42x - 1080 = 0
x² + 21x - 540 = 0
(x - 15)(x + 36) = 0
x = 15, x = - 36
We can use only positive value.
One leg - x inches = 15 inches
Second leg - (x + 21) inches = 15+21=36 inches.
Answer:
B = 61°
A = 29°
a = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given;
c = 16, b = 14
Since we are told that C is a right angle, it means that C = 90°
Thus using sine rule, we have;
c/sin C = b/sin B
16/sin 90 = 14/sin B
16/1 = 14/sin B
sin B = 14/16
sin B = 0.875
B = sin^(-1) 0.875
B ≈ 61°
Now, since C is a right angle, it means that c will be the hypotenuse of the triangle.
Thus, from pythagoras theorem, If the other side of the triangle is a, then;
a² + b² = c²
a² + 14² = 16²
a² = 16² - 14²
a² = 256 - 156
a² = 100
a = √100
a = 10
Since we know B and C, we can find A because sum of angles in a triangle is 180°.
Thus;
A = 180 - (B + C)
A = 180 - (61 + 90)
A = 29°
