Algebra.Com's Answer #179706 by marcsam823(57) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Determine the measurements of all angles. Since the ratio of the angles is 4:5:9 and the total of all angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Draw a right triangle \n" ); document.write( "Label the vertical side \"10\" \n" ); document.write( "Label the angle opposite the vertical side \"40 degrees\" \n" ); document.write( "(The smallest angle is always opposite the shortest side) \n" ); document.write( "You will be solving for the hypotenuse (longest side); label the hypotenuse \"x\"\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To solve for the hypotenuse use the sine function \n" ); document.write( "Sine of an angle = opposite side/ hypotenuse \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
