Triangle ABC has a right angle at C. Select allmeasurements which would mean it has ahypotenuse with a length of 10 units.

Triangle ABC Has A Right Angle At C Select Allmeasurements Which Would Mean It Has Ahypotenuse With A Length Of 10 Units class=

Sagot :

Let's check or verify each option so that we can get a measurement that would mean the right triangle has a hypotenuse of 10

option A

A=20 BC = 2 AB is the hypotenuse

Using trig. ratio

sin20 = 2/AB

AB = 2/sin20

AB = 5.84

This is not equal to 10

Let's try option B

AC=7 BC= 3 AB =?

Using Pythagoras

AB= √ 7²+ 3² = √ 49+ 9 = √ 58 =7.6

It is not equal to 10

Let's try option C

B = 50 BC =4 AB = ?

Using trig, ratio

cos 50 = 4/AB

AB = 4/cos50 = 6.2

This is also not 10

option D

A=30 BC=5

Using trig. ratio

sin30 = 5/AB

AB = 5/sin30 = 10

This is equal to 10

option E

AC = 8 BC =6 AB = ?

using pythagoras,

AB =√ 8² + 6² = √ 64 + 36 = √100 = 10

Hence option D and E gives a hypotenuse of 10
