Answer:
The answer is below
Step-by-step explanation:
1) A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. There are different types of triangles such as obtuse, scalene, right angle, equilateral and isosceles triangle.
Given that triangle ABC is right angled and AC = 25 cm = hypotenuse and BC = 15 cm. Using Pythagoras:
AC² = BC² + AB²
25² = AB² + 15²
AB² = 25² - 15²
AB² = 400
AB = √400
AB = 20 cm
Using sine rule:
[tex]\frac{sin(B)}{AC}=\frac{sin(A)}{BC}=\frac{sin(C)}{AB}\\\\But\ \angle B= 90^o(right\ angle)\ hence:\\\\ \frac{sin(B)}{AC}=\frac{sin(A)}{BC}\\\\\frac{sin(90)}{25}=\frac{sin(A)}{15}\\\\sin(A)=\frac{sin(90)}{25}*15\\\\sin(A)=0.6\\\\A=sin^{-1}(0.6)\\\\A=36.87^o[/tex]
2)
Using Pythagoras:
hypotenuse² = 8² + 6²
hypotenuse² = 100
hypotenuse = √100
hypotenuse = 10
Using sine rule:
[tex]\frac{sin(x)}{8}=\frac{sin(90)}{10}\\\\sin(x)=\frac{sin(90)}{10}*8\\\\sin(x)=0.8\\\\x=sin^{-1}(0.8)\\\\x=53.13 ^o[/tex]
