Question

Using angle A as the reference angle, what is the ratio of the opposite side to the adjacent side?

Answer 1

Answer:

20/21

Step-by-step explanation:

Opposite / Adjacent = RT / AR

You have to find RT

Use the Pythagorean Theorem

AR^2 + TR^2 = AT^2

21^2 + TR^2 = 29^2

441 + TR^2 = 841             Subtract 441 from both sides

TR^2 = 841 - 441

TR^2 = 400

sqrt(TR^2) = sqrt(400)

TR = 20

Ratio: TR / AR = 20/29
