Answer:
One solution.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the number of possible solutions for a triangle with A = 113° , a = 15, and b = 8, we're going to use the law of sines which states that: "<em>When we divide side a by the sine of angle A it is equal to side b divided by the sine of angle B, and also equal to side c divided by the sine of angle C</em>".
Using the law of sines we have:
Solving for B, we have:
∠B = 29.4°
Therefore, the measure of the third angle is: ∠C = 37.6°
There is another angle whose sine is 0.4909 which is 180° - 29.4° = 150.6 degrees. Given that the sum of all three angles of any triangle must be equal to 180 deg, we can't have a triangle with angle B=113° and C=150.6°, because B+C>180.
Therefore, there is one triangle that satisfies the conditions.
Answer: 19 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, since the situation forms a right triangle (see attachment) we have to apply the next trigonometric function.
Tan α = opposite side / adjacent side
Where α is the angle of depression of the dog, the opposite side (16) is Ted's eye level above the ground, and the adjacent side (x) is the distance between the dog and the barn door.
Replacing with the values given:
tan40 = 16/x
Solving for x
x =16/tan40
x= 19 ft
