  • Answer:

1) - Hence, OPTION (A ): BC = √58

2) - The measure of the Angle to the Nearest Tenth is: 73.6 degrees

  • Step-by-step explanation:

1) - ΔABC is a Right Triangle. If AB = 3 and AC = 7, Find BC. Leave in Simplest Radical Form.

AB^2 + AC^2 = BC^2

  • Substitute

AC = 7, AB = 3 Into AB^2 + AC^2 = BC^2

  • Calculate:

3^2 + 7^2 = BC^2

Hence, Option (A): BC = √58

2) - The tangent of an angle is 3.4. What is the measure of the angle to the nearest tenth?

  • Step-by-step explanation:

Let Angle Be: ∝

tan ∝ = 3.4

∝ = tan^-1 (3.4)

∝ = 73.6104597 degrees

∝ = 73.6 degrees

Therefore, the measure of the Angle is: 73.6 degrees

I hope this helps you!
