Answer:

  • the hypotenuse side, c = 23.1 cm
  • angle A = 41.26 ⁰
  • angle B = 48.74 ⁰

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

first leg of the right triangle, a = 15.21 cm

second leg of the right triangle, b = 17.34 cm

Angle C = 90 ⁰

The missing parameters;

  • the hypotenuse side = c
  • angle A
  • angle B

Use Pythagoras theorem to calculate the missing side "c", which is the hypotenuse

c² = a² + b²

c² = (15.21)²  +  (17.34)²

c² = 532.02

c = √532.02

c = 23.1 cm

The missing angle A is calculated as;

[tex]tan(A) = \frac{a}{b} \\\\tan(A) = \frac{15.21}{17.34} \\\\tan(A) = 0.8772 \\\\A = tan^{-1} (0.8772)\\\\A = 41.26^0[/tex]

The missing angle is calculated as;

B = 90⁰ - A

B = 90⁰ - 41.26⁰

B = 48.74⁰
