A right triangle’s legs are 3 and 4 meters long. What is the measure of the angle adjacent to the 4-meter leg to the nearest tenth of a degree?
To find the measure of angle adjacent to the 4-meter leg in a right triangle.
Answer to Problem 3STP
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Legs of the triangle are 3 and 4 meters long.
Formula used:
Law of sines.
In any triangle, the ratio of side length to the sine of its opposite angle is the same for all three sides.
Calculation :
Consider X be the angle adjacent to the 4-m leg.
Therefore angle adjacent to the 3-meter leg is
The angle adjacent to the 4-m leg is
