Question

Finding the missing side and angle

Answer 1

a.
`√(52)` or 7.21

b. 35.68 degrees

Explanation:

a. Use Pythagorean theorem and plug in 6 and 4 (6^2 + 4^2 = c^2)

This will give you 52 = c^2 and square root both sides to isolate c and get the hypotenuse.

b. Solve using sine (opposite/hypotenuse). This should give you sinθ=
`(7)/(12)`. But since you're solving for θ you need to isolate it by dividing by sin. So final equation is θ=sin^-1 *
`(7)/(12)`
