PLEASE HELP!!!
Triangle QRS has side lengths r= 24.4 and s= 30.6. Angle Q has a measure of 15°. What is the measure of angle R?
- 123.1°
- 9.5°
- 41.9°
- 34.2°

Respuesta :

The measure of angle R is : 41.5°

what are trigonometric ratios?

Trigonometric ratios are ratios of the sides of a right-angled triangle.

They are used to relate the sides of a triangle with their angles.

Examples are cosine, tangent, sine etc.

Analysis:

length r is facing angle R, length s is facing angle S, length q is facing angle Q.

in order to find angle R we need to find the length of q first.

using cosine rule,

[tex]q^{2}[/tex] = [tex]s^{2}[/tex] + [tex]r^{2}[/tex] -2srcosQ

[tex]q^{2}[/tex] = [tex](30.6)^{2}[/tex] + [tex](24.4)^{2}[/tex] -2 x 30.6 x 24.4cos15

[tex]q^{2}[/tex] = 936.6 + 595.36 -1493.3(0.9659)

q = 9.5

using sine rule,

[tex]\frac{24.4}{sin R}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{9.5}{sin 15}[/tex]

9.5 sinR = 24.4sin15

sin R = 24.4(0.2588)

sin R = 6.31

R = arc(sin) 6.31 = 41.5°

In conclusion, the measure of angle R is 41.5°
