Question

Hello,

I had asked this question before but I wanted to get a more detailed answer as to how the previous instructor got the 2 and the 1/2? (see highlighted screen shot). I attached both original question and the highlisted answer from bartleby.

Original question asked is below: 

Consider the following right triangle with sides a, b, and c in which c is the hypotenuse. 
If the length of c in the above triangle is 9, determine the lengths of a and b.

Can you please explain how to get to the below solution?

Answers: 

a = 9/2

b = 9*(sqrt(3)/2)

b= 9X sin6o
