Answer:

see explanation

Explanation:

using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan A =
(opposite)/(adjacent) =
(BC)/(AB) =
(5)/(11) , then

∠ A =
tan^(-1) (
(5)/(11) ) ≈ 24.4° ( to 1 decimal place )

tan C =
(opposite)/(adjacent) =
(AB)/(BC) =
(11)/(5) , then

∠ C =
tan^(-1) (
(11)/(5) ) ≈ 65.6° ( to 1 decimal place )

using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides, that is

AC² = AB² + BC² = 11² + 5² = 121 + 25 = 146 ( take square root of both sides )

AC =
√(146) ≈ 12.08 ( to 2 decimal places )
