Math Problem Statement
Solve the right-angled triangles with the given angles and sides.
Solution
The image shows two right-angled triangles with some given angles and side lengths.
Analyzing the Triangles:
-
Left Triangle:
- It is a right-angled triangle.
- Given angles: and , indicating this is an isosceles right triangle.
- Given side: One side (the leg opposite one of the angles) is marked as 4 units.
-
Right Triangle:
- This is also a right-angled triangle.
- Given angles: , , and the right angle .
- Given side: The side opposite the angle is marked as 6 units.
Solving for the Unknown Sides:
Let's solve for the missing sides in both triangles:
-
Left Triangle:
- Since it is a 45-45-90 triangle, both legs are equal. So, if one leg is 4, the other leg is also 4.
- In a 45-45-90 triangle, the hypotenuse is times the length of a leg.
-
Right Triangle:
- In a 30-60-90 triangle, the ratio of the sides opposite the , , and angles is .
- Given that the side opposite the angle is 6, the hypotenuse (opposite the angle) will be:
- The side opposite the angle will be:
