Question

Solve the triangle for all missing sides and angles

Answer 1

Answer:

a=9

c= 17.5

angles: a =31, b =59, c =90

Step-by-step explanation:

a:

tan (31) = a/15 *cross multiply*

a = 15 (tan (31))

a = 9

c:

*use pythagorean theorum*

9^2 + 15^2 = c^2

81 + 225 = c^2

306 = c^2

17.5 = c

Answer 2

Answer:

B = 59

a = 9.01

c = 17.49

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle B

180 - 90 - 31 = 59

c

The sine of an angle is equal to the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse.

sin(B)=opp/hyp

sin(B)=15/c

sin(59)=15/c

c=15/sin(59)

c=17.49

Find the last side of the triangle using the Pythagorean theorem.

$a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2} \\a^{2} +15^{2} =17.49^{2} \\\\a^{2} =17.49^{2} -15^{2}\\a=9.01$
