Use the figure to the right to find the missing lengths of the triangle.

AC = 7 ​cm; find AB and BC.

Triangle A B C has legs A C and B C, a hypotenuse A B and is labeled as follows: A, 60 degrees; B, 30 degrees; C, right angle.

Respuesta :

To find AB(x) and BC(y), you can do(there are multiple ways you can do this):

tan A = [tex]\frac{y}{7}[/tex]

tan 60° = [tex]\frac{y}{7}[/tex] or (tan 60°) · 7 = y

tan 60° = [tex]\frac{\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} }{ \frac{1}{2} } = \sqrt{3}[/tex]

√3 · 7 = y

7√3 cm = y


sin B = [tex]\frac{7}{x}[/tex]

sin 30° = [tex]\frac{7}{x}[/tex] or [tex]x= \frac{7}{sin 30}[/tex]

sin 30° = [tex]\frac{\frac{1}{2} }{1}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

x = [tex]\frac{7}{\frac{1}{2} } = 14[/tex]

x = 14 cm


AB = 14cm

BC = 7√3 cm
