Math Problem Statement
find the measure of each side of the triangle
Solution
To find the measures of each side of the triangle , let’s identify and apply the appropriate trigonometric ratios. Given:
- (opposite side to )
- We need to find (the hypotenuse) and (adjacent side to ).
Let's use trigonometric functions relative to :
-
Finding (adjacent side): Solving for :
-
Finding (hypotenuse): Solving for :
Let me calculate these values.The measures of each side of the triangle are approximately:
- (as given)
Would you like further details on the solution process, or do you have any questions?
Here are five related questions for further practice:
- How would the side lengths change if were instead of ?
- Can you calculate the area of this right triangle using the given dimensions?
- What is the perimeter of with the side lengths found?
- How would you find the height from point to side ?
- If were doubled, how would that affect the other sides?
Tip: In right triangles, knowing one side and an acute angle is enough to determine all other side lengths using trigonometric ratios.
