Answer:

Explanation:

Question 1: Assumption: This is a 30-60-90 triangle.

Remember that the sides of a 30-60-90 triangle are in the ratio 1:√3:2

The side opposite the 90° angle is 16, so the side opposite the 30° angle is 16/2 = 8

x = 8 units.

:::::

Question 2: Assumption: This is an isosceles triangle.

Draw the altitude to the vertex angle and you get a 30-60-90 triangle.

The side opposite the 90° angle has length 22, so the side opposite the 30° angle has length 11.

x/2 = 11

x = 22 units

:::::

Question 3: Assumption: This is a 45-45-90 triangle.

The sides of a 45-45-90 triangle are in the ratio 1:1:√2

The sides opposite the 45° angles are 19 and x.

x = 19

:::::

Question 4: Assumption: This is an isosceles triangle.

x = 13 units

:::::

Question 5: Assumption: This is a right triangle.

sin(54°) = x/45

x = 45sin(54°) ≅ 36.4 units

:::::

Question 6: Assumption: This is a right triangle.

sin(35°) = z/23

z = 23sin(35°) ≅ 13.2 units
