Answer:

A=

Explanation:

This is Soh Cah Toa.

The angle opposite the right corner is always the hypoteneuse. The adjacent and opposite sides switch depending on what angle youre using.

for the side b use tan.

tan_of_angle=opposite/adjacent

tan_of_58=b/14

tan_of_58*14=b

1.6*14=b

22.4=b

for the side c use cos

cos_of_angle=adjacent/hypotenuse

cos_of_58=14/c

c=14/sin_of_58

c=14/0.5299

c=26.41

for the angle A use sin

sin_of_angle=opposite/hypoteneuse

sin_of_A=14/26.41

sin_of_A=0.5299

A=invsin_of_0.5299

A=32 degrees
