Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
✔️A = 180° - (50° + 90°) (sum of triangle)
A = 40°
✔️Find a:
Reference angle = 50°
Opposite = 17
Adjacent = a
Therefore, using trigonometric ratio, we have the following:
Tan 50 = 17/a
a = 17/tan 50
a = 14.3 (nearest tenth)
✔️Find c using Pythagorean Theorem:
c² = a² + b²
c² = 14.3² + 17²
c = √493.49
c = 22.2 (nearest tenth)
