how do you solve for a right triangle if the |dw:1340804706494:dw|

Trying to get your sketch to display... |dw:1340804706494:dw|

Huh? That's odd your sketch didn't display even when I copied it over to my post

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try sketching again, something went squirrely here.

yeah uiim confused i was trying to draw it out but its a right triangle ABC if A=16 degrees, c=14, and C=90 degrees

|dw:1340805162225:dw|

@agentx5 i think it worked now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(\angle A = 16^o\) , \(\angle C = 90^o\) isn't what you drew there... At the minimum it should appear like this, where the "square corner" symbol means by definition, 90 degrees. |dw:1340805661544:dw| \[\huge \triangle = 180^o = \angle A + \angle B + \angle C \] You should be able to find B. Then it's just a matter of SOH-CAH-TOA and your trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, tangent). :-)
