You can put this solution on YOUR website!
remember sin = a/h, cos = b/h, = tan = a/b\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "given: a = 9m; C = 90 degrees; B = 36 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "angle A = 180 - (90 + 36) = 54 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "hypontenuse = sin 54 = a/h
\n" ); document.write( " sin 54 = 9/h
\n" ); document.write( " h = 9/sin54
\n" ); document.write( " h = 11.1
\n" ); document.write( "h^2 - a^2 = b^2
\n" ); document.write( "11.1 ^2 - 9^ = b^2
\n" ); document.write( "b^2 = 42.21
\n" ); document.write( "b = sqrt42.21
\n" ); document.write( "b = 6.5m\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "angle A = 54 degrees; b = 6.5m; c = 11.1m
