Answer:

AC = 3.76

Explanation:

The opposing side of ∠B needs to be found, where the value of the hypotenuse is given. Take the sin ratio.

  • sin∠B = AC/4
  • sin70° = AC/4
  • 0.94 = AC/4
  • AC = 4 x 0.94
  • AC = 3.76

Answer:

The answer is AC = 3.76

Explanation:

CohCahToa

Coh: sin(theta) = Opp/Hyp

sin(theta°) = AC/AB

sin(70°) = AC/4

AC = 4*sin(70°)

AC ≈ 3.758770483

AC = 3.76
