Question

Right triangle ABC is shown. Which equation can be used to solve for c? sin(50o) = sin(50o) = cos(50o) = cos(50o) =

Answer 1

the answer is A

Explanation:

Answer 2

`sin(50\°)=(3)/(c)`

Explanation:

The missing information is

• a to c is 3m .
• c to b is a .
• b to a is c and ab is 50 degrees.

The image attached shows a representation of the situation.

Notice that c is the hypothenuse of the triangle, and we know the measure of one angle and its opposite leg, so that allow us to use the sine trigonometric reason.

`sin(50\°)=(opposite \ leg)/(hypothenuse)`

`sin(50\°)=(3)/(c)`

Therefore, the expression that can be used to find the side c is

`sin(50\°)=(3)/(c)`
