which of the following values best approximates the length of c in triangle abc where c = 90 degrees, b = 12, b = 15 degrees

Respuesta :

The answer would be c (almost equals) 46.3644

In the given figure <C=90 ,<B= 15 degrees.We need to find side c.

The side adjacent to <B is known as adjacent side and the one opposite to it is opposite side .The side opposite to 90 degrees is hypotenuse.

In the figure b=12 is opposite side and c is the hypotenuse.

Sine of any angle is the ratio of opposite and hypotenuse.

SinB= [tex] \frac{opposite}{Hypotenuse} [/tex]

[tex] Sin15=\frac{12}{c} [/tex]

Cross multiplying we have c= 12 (sin15)

c=12(.2588) [ sin15=.2588]

c=46.37
