Question

Which equation can be used to solve for c?

Triangle A B C is shown. Angle A C B is 90 degrees and angle A B C is 35 degrees. The length of C B is 5 inches, the length of A C is b, and the length of B A is c.

Answer 1

The equation which is used to find the value of c will be c = 5/Cos 35

What is trigonometry?

The branch of mathematics sets up a relationship between the sides and the angles of the right-angle triangle is termed trigonometry.

We are given the following

m<ACB = 90degrees

m<ABC = 35degrees

The side opposite to m<ABC is AC

BA = hypotenuse

CB = adjacent = 5inches

Required

The equation to solve BA which is c

Using the Pythagoras theorem;

Cos Ф = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

Cos m<ABC = CB/BA

Cos m<ABC = 5/c

c = 5/cosm<ABC

c = 5/Cos 35

Hence the equation that can be used to solve for c is c = 5/Cos 35
