Solve the right triangle, ΔABC, for all the missing side and angles to the nearest tenth given sides a = 10.6 and b = 19.2.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Part 1) [tex]c=21.9\ units[/tex]

Part 2) [tex]B=61.1\°[/tex]

Part 3) [tex]A=28.9\°[/tex]

Part 4) [tex]C=90\°[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the length side c

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

[tex]c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}[/tex]

substitute the given values

[tex]c^{2}=10.6^{2}+19.2^{2}[/tex]

[tex]c^{2}=481[/tex]

[tex]c=21.9\ units[/tex]

step 2

Fin the measure of angle B

we know that

In the right triangle

[tex]tan(B)=b/a[/tex]

substitute the given values

[tex]tan(B)=19.2/10.6[/tex]

[tex]B=arctan(19.2/10.6)=61.1\°[/tex]

step 3

Find the measure of angle A

we know that

The measure of interior angles in a triangle must be equal to 180 degrees

so

∠A+∠B+∠C=180°

Remember that in a right triangle the measure of angle C is 90 degrees

we have

[tex]B=61.1\°[/tex]

[tex]C=90\°[/tex]

substitute

[tex]A+61.1\°+90\°=180\°[/tex]

[tex]A=28.9\°[/tex]
