For both triangles, we will assume that the angles that appear to be right angles in the diagrams are indeed .
Part a· 3 steps
Find BC
Given a triangle ABC with side and . We assume .
Identify the known values and the unknown value.
We have a right-angled triangle with the side opposite to () and the angle . We need to find the hypotenuse .
Apply the sine trigonometric ratio.
The sine of an angle in a right-angled triangle is the ratio of the length of the opposite side to the length of the hypotenuse.
Substitute the given values:
Solve for BC.
We know that .
Multiply both sides by :
Divide by :
Rationalize the denominator by multiplying the numerator and denominator by :
The value of BC is .
Part b
Find a and c
Given a triangle PQR with side and . Side and side . We assume .
Identify the known values and the unknown values.
