You are given two angle measurements, 90 and 51. 90 + 51 = 141 180 - 141 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

39

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, so the missing angle is 39.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Here, to find the side of the opposite, we have to use Sine. \(\sin 39 = \dfrac{x}{18}\) \(\sin 39 \approx 0.6293\) \(0.6293 = \dfrac{x}{18}\) Multiply 18 to both sides: \(0.6293 \times 18 = x\)

OpenStudy (igreen):

Can you multiply that?

@iGreen

OpenStudy (igreen):

Right, so our length of one of the legs is 11(it tells you to round to the nearest degree). Plug it in the Pythagorean Theorem to find the other leg: \(a^2 + b^2 = c^2\) \(a^2 + 11^2 = 18^2\) Simplify Exponents: \(a^2 + 121 = 324\) Subtract 121 to both sides: \(a^2 = 203\) Square both sides: \(a = \sqrt{203}\) Can you square that?

@iGreen

OpenStudy (igreen):

No, check again..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

14.24

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, that rounds to 14. So your side lengths are 11 and 14.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Sorry that's 11.33 and 14.24

OpenStudy (igreen):

*14.25
