Question

In ΔVWX, v = 28 cm, w = 54 cm and ∠X=90°. Find ∠W, to the nearest degree.

Answer 1

In triangle VWX, given that v = 28 cm, w = 54 cm, and ∠X = 90°, you can find ∠W to the nearest degree as follows:

∠W = 90° - ∠V

To find ∠V, use the sine ratio:

In this case, the opposite side to ∠V is VX, and the hypotenuse is VW:

Solve for V:

Once you have V, find ∠W using the first equation:

∠W = 90° - V

Round ∠W to the nearest degree as needed.
