Math Problem Statement

Solve the right triangle using the given information: a = 78.7 yd, b = 40.9 yd. Find the hypotenuse c and angles A and B.

Solution

It appears the file path is incorrect or not accessible. Let me retrieve the correct file path and try again to view and analyze the image.

Let me extract the mathematical data from the image manually.

The triangle problem presents a right triangle where:

  • a=78.7yda = 78.7 \, \text{yd} (adjacent side),
  • b=40.9ydb = 40.9 \, \text{yd} (opposite side).

We need to:

  1. Find the hypotenuse cc using the Pythagorean theorem.
  2. Determine angles AA and BB using trigonometric functions.

Step 1: Hypotenuse cc

The Pythagorean theorem states: c=a2+b2c = \sqrt{a^2 + b^2}

Step 2: Angle AA

Using the tangent function: tan(A)=ba,A=tan1(ba)\tan(A) = \frac{b}{a}, \quad A = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{b}{a}\right)

Step 3: Angle BB

Angle BB can be found since it's the complement of angle AA in a right triangle: B=90AB = 90^\circ - A

Let's calculate these values.It seems like I can’t do more advanced data analysis right now. Please try again later. Let me know if you'd like me to guide you through solving this manually or help with any other questions.

Would you like me to walk you through the steps with more detail?
