A, b and c are the sides of a right triangle, where side a is across from angle a, side b is across from angle b, and side c is across from the right angle. if a=19 and b=34∘, find the missing sides and angles in this right triangle
Question
Answer:
Find missing length :a² + b² = c²
c² = 19² + 34²
c² = 1517
c = √1517
c = 38.95 units.
Find missing angle A:
[tex] \dfrac{a}{\sin(a)} = \dfrac{c}{\sin(c)} [/tex]
[tex] \dfrac{19}{\sin(a)} = \dfrac{38.95}{\sin(90)} [/tex]
[tex]\sin(a) = 0.488[/tex]
[tex]a = sin^{-1} (0.488)[/tex]
[tex]a = 29.2 \textdegree[/tex]
Find Missing B:
[tex] \dfrac{b}{\sin(b)} = \dfrac{c}{\sin(c)} [/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{34}{\sin(b)} = \dfrac{38.95}{\sin(90)}[/tex]
[tex]\sin(b) = 0.873[/tex]
[tex]b = sin^{-1}(0.873)[/tex]
[tex]b = 60.8 \textdegree[/tex]
Answer: Missing length = 38.95 units ; Missing angles = 29.2° and 60.8°
