Find the lengths of the missing sides if side a is opposite angle A, side b is opposite angle B, and side c is the hypotenuse.
\n" ); document.write( "cos(B) = 4/5, a = 38
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Draw a right triangle ABC, label the side opposite the angle as a, b, c
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "a side is adjacent to angle B, therefore
\n" ); document.write( "\"38%2Fc\" = Cos(B)
\n" ); document.write( "\"38%2Fc\" = 4/5
\n" ); document.write( "4c = 38 * 5
\n" ); document.write( "4c = 190
\n" ); document.write( "c = 190/4
\n" ); document.write( "c = 47.5 is the hypotenuse
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find b
\n" ); document.write( "Find angle B
\n" ); document.write( "\"cos%5E-1%28B%29\" = \"4%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "B = 36.87
\n" ); document.write( "sin(36.87) = \"b%2F47.5\"
\n" ); document.write( "b = 47.5 * sin(36.87)
\n" ); document.write( "b = 28.5\r
\n" ); document.write( "
