Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

The length of side a of the given triangle.

Answer to Problem 1A

The length of side a is a=28.39mm.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The following figure is given.

  Mathematics For Machine Technology, Chapter 55, Problem 1A

If one of the angles of any triangle is denoted by a rectangle, the angle is considered as a right angle. In the figure above, the angle B is the right angle and triangle ABC is the right-angle triangle.

To calculate the side BC, let us apply the Pythagoras theorem. According to Pythagoras theorem,

  AC2=AB2+BC2(63.5)2=(56.8)2+(a)2(a)2=(63.5)2(56.8)2(a)2=806.01a=806.01a=28.39mm

The length a of the given triangle is a=28.39mm.
