Question

Short Answer: Solve the right triangle.
a=70 degrees and 2nd a = 14; find B, b, and c.
* Drawing attached in question.*

Answer 1

Going to post the drawing? If not, sketch this right triangle yourself. Let A (capital letter) be the angle opposite side a (non-capital letter). Label B, b and c. Determine the best method (or methods): Law of Sines, Law of Cosines, Pythagorean Theorem, etc.

Answer 2

Hint: The sum of all the interior angles of a triangle must be 180 degrees.

Answer 3

drawind attached to where ?

Answer 4

angle a = 70 degree
side a = 14

do you know what say sin law for angle a for example ?

Answer 5

i dont understand the sin law completely.

Answer 6

so the sin law say sin a = opposite side divide hypotenuse

Answer 7

using this you can calculi easy the length of c - yes ?

Answer 8

and using tan law for angle a so this say opposite side divide adjacent side

do you can solve it now ?

Answer 9

so than you get c and b so using indifferent law sin or cos or tan or cot you can calculi the measure of angle B - ok ?

Answer 10

i am lost

Answer 11

why this is very easy just try calculi it how i wrote there above step by step

Answer 12

whats sin and tan and theres no numbers ??

Answer 13

sin and tan are trigonomatric function sin mean sinus and tan mean tangent

Answer 14

Since you are dealing with a right triangle, use sine, cosine, or tangent.

Answer 15

sin cos or tangent for what numbers?

Answer 16

i dont understand the layout of the problem.

Answer 17

You are given the measure of angle A. It is 70 deg.
A right triangle has two legs and a hypotenuse.
In your triangle, which sides are legs, and which side is the hypotenuse?

Answer 18

C is the hype. and a & b are the legs

Answer 19

Answer 20

Correct.
Now look at the angle of 70 deg.
The leg called "a" which has length 14 is given.
For the 70-deg angle, is leg "a" the opposite leg of the the adjacent leg?

Answer 21

Hint: opposite means "across form"; adjacent means "next to"

Answer 22

@mathstudent55
its the opposite leg?

Answer 23

its the opposite leg? @mathmale

Answer 24

Yes, a is the opposite leg to angle A.
We know a is 14.
b is the adjacent leg to angle A.
Which trig ratio relates the adjacent leg to the opposite leg?
