Solve the right triangle:
a = 28.5, c = 51.1
Steps to solve :
1. Set up the equations:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
2. Substitute the given values:
(28.5)^2 + b^2 = (51.1)^2
3. Solve for the missing side:
b^2 = (51.1)^2 - (28.5)^2
b^2 = 849.44
b ≈ 29.1
Answer:
a = 28.5
b ≈ 29.1
c = 51.1
Additional notes:
- You can also use trigonometric ratios to solve for missing sides if you have one side and an angle measure.
- Round answers to an appropriate number of decimal places based on the original measurements.
