Question

In ΔSTU, the measure of ∠U=90°, ST = 9.7 feet, and US = 4 feet. Find the measure of ∠T to the nearest degree.

Answer 1

Answer:

Around 24 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

*Make sure calculator is on degree mode*

Try to draw out triangle--it helps

Need to use law of sines... this is where an angle and the side that opposes it are equal to each other. For example, Angle U is equal to 9.7

$\frac{sin\alpha }{4} = \frac{sin90}{9.7}$

Multiply 4 and sin90 and then divide the product by 9.7

Use $sin^{-1}$ on calculator to convert the answer into degrees
