Step-by-step solution

  1. Calculate the angle β\beta in triangle 'b'.

    In the right-angled triangle 'b', the side opposite to angle β\beta is 9, and the hypotenuse is 20. We use the sine function.

    sin⁡(β)=oppositehypotenuse\sin(\beta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} sin⁡(β)=920\sin(\beta) = \frac{9}{20} sin⁡(β)=0.45\sin(\beta) = 0.45

    To find β\beta, we take the inverse sine:

    β=arcsin⁡(0.45)\beta = \arcsin(0.45) β≈26.7436∘\beta \approx 26.7436^\circ

    Rounding to the nearest 0.1 degree:

    β≈26.7∘\beta \approx \boxed{26.7^\circ}
  2. Calculate the angle δ\delta in triangle 'd'.

    In the right-angled triangle 'd', the side opposite to angle δ\delta is 8, and the side adjacent to angle δ\delta is 6. We use the tangent function.

    tan⁡(δ)=oppositeadjacent\tan(\delta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} tan⁡(δ)=86\tan(\delta) = \frac{8}{6} tan⁡(δ)=43\tan(\delta) = \frac{4}{3}

    To find δ\delta, we take the inverse tangent:

    δ=arctan⁡(43)\delta = \arctan\left(\frac{4}{3}\right) δ≈53.1301∘\delta \approx 53.1301^\circ

    Rounding to the nearest 0.1 degree:

    δ≈53.1∘\delta \approx \boxed{53.1^\circ}
