Question

Find the measure of angle H to the nearest degree.

Answer 1

53 degrees to the nearest degree.

Explanation:

Sine H = opposite / hypotenuse

= 8/10

= 0.8

H = 53 degrees.

Answer 2

`H=53\degree`

Explanation:

All the lengths of the sides of the given right angle triangle is given.

We can use any of the basic trigonometric ratios to find angle H.

Recall that;

`\sin(H)=(Opposite)/(Hypotenuse)`

`\sin(H)=(8)/(10)`

`\sin(H)=0.8`

We take the inverse sine of both sides to get;

`H=\sin^(-1)(0.8)`

This implies that

`H=53.1\degree`

`H=53\degree` to the nearest degree.
