Question

5. Find the measures of the following. Round to the nearest whole number

Answer 1

a) 17 cm

b) 62

c) 28

Explanation:

a) HT² = HW² + WT²

HT² = (15² + 8²) cm² = 225 + 64 = 289 cm²

HT = √289cm² = 17 cm

b) Sin(∠T) = HW/HT = 15/17 = 0.8824

∠T = Sin∧-1 (0.8824) = 62°

c) ∠H = 90°- 62° = 28°
