Assuming the given angle of 76° is accurate, the length of AG is approximately 30.35 cm (to 2 decimal places).
If the actual angle is unknown, AG can be expressed as BG * sin(∠ABG).
1. Identify relevant triangles:
Triangle ABG is a right triangle where we need to find the length of the hypotenuse AG.
We are given the lengths of two sides: AB = 22 cm (from the diagram) and BG = 31 cm (from the diagram).
2. Use trigonometry:
We can use the sine function (sin) to relate the sides of the right triangle: sin(∠ABG) = AG / BG.
We are given the angle ∠ABG = 76° from the diagram.
However, we need to be cautious because the diagram states "Not drawn accurately." This means the angle might not be exactly 76°.
3. Two possible approaches:
a) Use the given angle (assuming it's accurate):
sin(76°) ≈ 0.978
Rearranging the equation, AG = BG * sin(∠ABG) ≈ 31 cm * 0.978 ≈ 30.35 cm
b) Treat the angle as unknown:
We cannot directly solve for AG without knowing the accurate value of ∠ABG.
However, we can express AG in terms of BG and sin(∠ABG): AG = BG * sin(∠ABG).
This way, if the actual angle is provided later, you can simply plug it into the equation to find AG.
