Question

Find m∠G, rounded to the nearest degree

Answer 1

d.
`62\degree`

Explanation:

The given triangle is a right triangle with all the sides given.

We can use any of the trigonometric ratios to find m<G.

Recall the mnemonics. SOH CAH TOA

Let us use the sine ratio.

`\sin(m\angle G)=(Opposite)/(Hypotenuse)`

`\sin(m\angle G)=(15)/(17)`

`m\angle G=\sin^(-1)((15)/(17))`

`m\angle G=61.9`

`m\angle G=62\degree` to the nearest degree.
