ILLUSTRATION 1

What is the length of the side opposite angle A in the right triangle?

To determine

The value of side opposite to the angle A for the provided right angle triangle.

Answer to Problem 1R

Solution:

The value of side opposite to the angle A for the provided right angle triangle is $29.7\text{m}$.

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

The provided right angled triangle is shown below:

Consider the provided right angled triangle.

Angle C in provided right angled triangle ABC is of measure $90°$.

Side adjacent to angle A is BA and CA.

Therefore, side opposite to angle A is BC,

From the provided figure measure of sided BC is 29.7 m.

Therefore, the value of side opposite to the angle A for the provided right angle triangle is 29.7 m.
