Question

A right triangle has an acute angle measure of 22°. Which two numbers represent the lengths of the legs of this triangle?

1 and 5
2 and 5
3 and 5
4 and 5

Answer 1

Then the correct answer is B.) 2 and 5. (or your second option given above)

We will use the tangent ratio. 

tanΘ = opposite/adjacent

tan 22° = 2/5
0.404 = 0.40

Thus the two numbers that represent the lengths of the legs of the right triangle are 2 and 5.

Answer 2

Answer:

2 and 5

Step-by-step explanation:

we are using a tangent ratio and it is Tan=22/29 that means that it is 2 and 5

because 2 sq is 4 plus 5 sq is 25 so 25 plus 4 is 29
