Answer:
The correct answer is the letter C.
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use the following trigonometric identity:
[tex]cos(60)=\frac{6}{b}[/tex] (1)
[tex]cos(45)=\frac{c}{b}[/tex] (2)
Solving each equation by b and equaling we have:
[tex]\frac{6}{cos(60)}=\frac{c}{cos(45)}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{6}{cos(60)}=\frac{c}{cos(45)}[/tex]
Let's recall that:
[tex]cos(45)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex]
[tex]cos(60)=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Then we have:
[tex]c=\frac{cos(45)*6}{cos(60)}[/tex]
[tex]c=\frac{2*6}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex]
[tex]c=\frac{12}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex]
[tex]c=6\sqrt{2}[/tex]
Using equation (1) we can find b.
[tex]cos(60)=\frac{6}{b}[/tex]
[tex]b=12[/tex]
Finally, we can find a using the next equation:
[tex]tan(60)=\frac{a}{6}[/tex]
[tex]a=6*tan(60)[/tex]
[tex]a=6\sqrt{3}[/tex]
Therefore, the correct answer is the letter C.
I hope it helps you!
