Question

Find the measure of each side indicated. Round to the nearest tenth. (I attached a file of the pic)

Answer 1

You have a side labeled x and a side labeled 10.4.
You are also given the measure of angle A as 49 deg.
A right triangle has two legs and a hypotenuse.
Can you name the hypotenuse of this triangle?

Answer 2

I drew and wrote the problem as it is written on my homework

Answer 3

I know, I saw it. Can you tell which side is the hypotenuse?

Answer 4

The hypotenuse is "X". Since it's the longest side .

Answer 5

Is that what you're asking?

Answer 6

Great. The easy way to tell is that the hypotenuse is the side opposite the right angle.
You are right. x is the hypotenuse.

When we deal with the sine, cosine and tangent functions of a right triangle, we call the legs the "opposite leg" and the "adjacent leg."

We are looking at angle A, the 49-degree angle.
With respect to angle A, which leg is the opposite leg and which leg is the adjacent leg?
