Question

Instructions: Solve the triangle, find m

Answer 1

step 1

Find out the measure of angle A

we have that

In the given right triangle

`\begin{gathered} cosA=(17)/(38)\text{ ----> by CAH} \\ \\ A=cos^(-1)((17)/(38)) \\ A=63^o \end{gathered}`

step 2

Find out the measure of angle C

Remember that

In the right triangle

A+C=90 degrees -----------> by complementary angles

`\begin{gathered} 63^o+C=90^o \\ C=90^o-63^o \\ C=27^o \end{gathered}`
