If you drop a perpendicular line from point B to line b, you will have 2 right angle triangles. Now you can find out the angle and point C, and using sin, cos or tan functions, can you find the lengths?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No that's why I need help

Sorry for the bad drawing but best way to explain. Now start by finding out angle at point me. You already know the other 2 angles in the main triangle. What would be angle at point C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

22 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, right. Now we need to find the length of line x using the line AB and sin function. Can you try to do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Trigonometry: sin(43) = x/6. Rings a bell?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = 6sin(43)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, so what is the value of x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4.091.......

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now you have x, can you find length of a with the same logic and angle C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is one of the answers C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sin22 = x/a. For b you will have to add the 2 parts of b falling in each of the 2 right triangles b1 and b2|dw:1459891392931:dw| cos 22 = b1/a cos 43 = b2/6 b= b1+b2
