Observe △CBA shown below.

Part 1: Make up an angle measure for angle C and a length for one of the sides (AB, BC, or CA).

Part 2: Use a trigonometric ratio (sine, cosine, or tangent) to solve for one of the other side lengths.

For full credit, please provide both the ratio and work used to solve for the missing side length. Round your solution to the nearest hundredth.

Which angle and which side are  you going to make up values?

hang254 · Answer

u should do 35 for angle A. Then make side CB 15

hang254 · Answer

sorry, 35, for angle C

ganeshie8 · Answer

why 35 ?

hang254 · Answer

because it can be what ever he makes up

radar · Answer

@rajfk35 , do you understand what you are to do?  The only thing that is given, is it is a right triangle!

ganeshie8 · Answer

lol.. ok :)

hang254 · Answer

Then say ur going to solve for side BA

radar · Answer

If it was me, I would make the angle c 45 degrees  lol

hang254 · Answer

and use tan, because its opp/adj

hang254 · Answer

lol

radar · Answer

Then BC would = AB!

hang254 · Answer

but he has to use trigonometric ratio, like cos tan sin to solve it

hang254 · Answer

but that would be easiest

hang254 · Answer

so, @rajfk35 what would the equation look like if we use tan?
