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

39
OpenStudy (igreen):
Yep, so the missing angle is 39.

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?

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?

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
