Solving Right Triangles

line

1. Given a right triangle where angle A measures 62o and angle C is a right angle, what is the measure of angle B?


  Angle B = 90o


  Angle B = 30o

  Angle B = 28o

2. Given a right triangle ABC, where side a measures 4.21m and the hypotenuse measures 10.0m, what is the length of the third side?

  b = 9.1m

  b = 9.07mm

  b = 9.07m

3. For triangle ABC, where C is the right angle, angle B measures 49o and the hypotenuse measures 14m, solve for side b.

  b = 10.6m

  b = 7.2m

  b = 9.2m

4. For triangle ABC, where C is the right angle, angle B measures 49o and the hypotenuse measures 14m, solve for side a.

  a = 12m

  a = 9.2m

  a = 9.2m

5. For triangle ABC, where side a measures 5.1m and side b measures 9.2m, find the measure of angle A.

 Angle A = 29o

 Angle A = 61o

 Angle A = 90o
