True or False? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! It helps to draw this. When it is, BC is 10 cm and angle C is the same as angle A or 62 degrees.
There is a right triangle with hypotenuse 10 cm and the altitude is the sine of 62 =alt/10
10 sin 62=altitude
=8.83 cm. That is approximately 8.8 cm
