Question

Label ABC with the following information.
m/A = 21°
AC = 13
Find BC.

Answer 1

BC = 4.7

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were:

Angle A = 21 °

Hypothenus = AC = 13

Opposite = BC =?

The length of BC can be obtained by using sine ratio as illustrated below:

Sine A = Opposite /Hypothenus

Sine 21 = BC / 13

0.3584 = BC / 13

Cross multiply

BC = 0.3584 × 13

BC = 4.7

Thus, the length of BC is 4.7
