Question

Find all the missing sides and angles of this triangle,

Answer 1

Answer:

See solutions below

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given diagram;

AC = opposite

AB = 7 = hypotenuse

Angle of elevation = 70 degrees

Using SOH CAH TOA

Sin theta = opp/hyp

Sin theta = AC/AB

Sin 70 = AC/7

AC = 7sin70

AC = 7(0.9397)

AC = 6.58

Similarly

tan 70 = AC/BC

tan 70 = 6.58/BC

BC = 6.58/tan70

BC = 6.58/2.7475

BC = 2.39

tan m<A = BC/AC

tanm<A = 2.39/6.58

tan m<A = 0.3632

m<A = 19.96degrees
