Given: the triangle is a right triangle, find a.
(The side opposite angle A.)
Answer:
a = 8.8104 ≈ 8.8
Step-by-step explanation:
∠A = ?, ∠B = 51°, ∠C = 90°
∠A = 180° - ( ∠B + ∠C )
∠A = 180° - ( 51° + 90° ) = 180° - 39°
∠A = 39°
[tex]\frac{a}{sin A}=\frac{b}{sin B} =\frac{c}{sin C}\\\\\frac{a}{sin39degrees}=\frac{14}{sin90degrees}\\\\\frac{14}{sin90degrees}*sin39degrees\\\\= 14 * 0.629\\= 8.8104[/tex]
So side a or BC = 8.8
