Q. QUESTION\newlineSolve the right triangle.\newlineRound your answers to the nearest tenth.\newlineEXPLANATION\newlineStart
  1. Pythagorean Theorem for Hypotenuse: We need to know at least one side length and one non-right angle, or two side lengths to solve the triangle. Let's assume we know the lengths of the two legs, aa and bb, and we need to find the hypotenuse cc and the angles.
  2. Trigonometric Ratios for Angle A: Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse: c2=a2+b2c^2 = a^2 + b^2. If a=3a = 3 and b=4b = 4, then c2=32+42=9+16=25c^2 = 3^2 + 4^2 = 9 + 16 = 25. So, c=25=5c = \sqrt{25} = 5.
  3. Inverse Tangent Calculation: Now, let's find the angles. We can use trigonometric ratios. For angle AA, opposite side is aa and adjacent side is bb. So, tan(A)=oppositeadjacent=ab=34\tan(A) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} = \frac{a}{b} = \frac{3}{4}.
  4. Angle B Calculation: To find angle AA, we take the inverse tangent of 34\frac{3}{4}. A=tan1(34)A = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{3}{4}\right). Let's say this gives us A=36.9A = 36.9 degrees, rounded to the nearest tenth.
  5. Angle Sum Verification: Since the sum of angles in a triangle is 180180 degrees and one angle is 9090 degrees (right angle), the other angle BB can be found by subtracting angle AA and the right angle from 180180. B=18090AB = 180 - 90 - A. B=1809036.9=53.1B = 180 - 90 - 36.9 = 53.1 degrees.
  6. Angle Sum Verification: Since the sum of angles in a triangle is 180180 degrees and one angle is 9090 degrees (right angle), the other angle BB can be found by subtracting angle AA and the right angle from 180180. B=18090AB = 180 - 90 - A. B=1809036.9=53.1B = 180 - 90 - 36.9 = 53.1 degrees.Check if the angles add up to 180180 degrees. A+B+90=36.9+53.1+90=180A + B + 90 = 36.9 + 53.1 + 90 = 180 degrees. Looks good.
