Answer:

Explanation:

a.

The angles given are 62° and 90°.

We know sum of angles in any triangle is 180° so the third angle must be 180-90-62 = 28°

We can find the sides if we know trigonometric functions

sin28° = opp. side/ hypothenuse = CA/BA = 8/BA

BA = 8/sin 28° ≈ 17

tan62°= opp.side/adj.side= BC/AC = BC/8

BC = 8 · tan62° ≈ 15

b.

We are given 2 sides 8.5 and 6.5 and that one angle is right, so the triangle is a right triangle, therefore we can apply Pythagorean Theorem to find the third side.

6.5² +FD² = 8.5², subtract 6.5² from both sides

FD² = 8.5²- 6.5², square and combine like terms

FD² = 30, square-root both sides

FD = √30

FD ≈ 5.47722, round to the nearest tenth

FD ≈ 5.5

We can find the angles if we know trigonometric functions.

sin ∡D = FE/DE = 6.5/8.5

∡D = sin^-1 (6.5/8.5)

∡D ≈ 49.9°

cos ∡E = FE/DE = 6.5/8.5

∡E = cos^-1 (6.5/8.5)

∡E ≈ 40.1°
