In a right triangle, given a=32.8 ft and A=28degrees 30'15'',solve for b and c .
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Convert 28 deg 30 min 15 sec to degrees
\n" ); document.write( "28 + \"30%2F60\" + \"15%2F3600\" ~ 28.504 deg is Angle A
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "we know
\n" ); document.write( "A = 28.504 deg
\n" ); document.write( "a = 32.8 ft
\n" ); document.write( "Find b, c (b will be the hypotenuse)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "We can use the sine here, side opposite (a) over hypotenuse
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Sin(28.504) = \"32.8%2Fb\"
\n" ); document.write( ".477 = \"32.8%2Fb\"
\n" ); document.write( ".477b = 32.8
\n" ); document.write( "b = \"32.8%2F.477\"
\n" ); document.write( "b = 68.7 ft length of b
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "Use the cosine to find c (side adjacent over hypotenuse
\n" ); document.write( "Cos(28.504) = \"c%2F68.7\"
\n" ); document.write( ".879 = \"c%2F68.7\"
\n" ); document.write( "c = .879 * 68.7
\n" ); document.write( "c = 60.4 ft length of c
\n" ); document.write( ":
