Answer 2

assuming this is a right triangle, you use the Pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

932^2 + b^2 = 1240^2

868624 + b^2 = 1537600

now solve for b

Answer 3

not sure how you're getting that

Answer 4

i mean b^2=668976

Answer 5

is ubtracted 868624 fromb oth sides and that leaves me with b^2=668976 is this correct sof ar?

Answer 6

yes it is, what's next?

Answer 7

divide

Answer 8

no, what undoes squaring?

Answer 9

square root?

Answer 10

exactly

Answer 11

so you have to take the square root of both sides

Answer 12

i get 817.9 rounds to 818

Answer 13

b=818

Answer 14

if you're rounding to the nearest whole number, then b = 818 is correct

Answer 15

i mean tan^-1 818/932=41.3

Answer 16

then take 90-41.3=48.7 if i rounded correctly

Answer 17

to the correct significant digit

Answer 18

not sure what you're doing now

Answer 19

you're looking for the angles right?

Answer 20

right triangles with given parts but i think i'm su pposed to find the other angles a s well

Answer 21

i get A= 48.73 and B=41.27 correct?

Answer 22

that is correct, I'm getting the same thing as well pretty much
