a. As you look at sides a, b, c and , d which side lengths are possible to calculate based on the information in the image?
b. For those side lengths which are possible to calculate, what steps would you take to calculate each side?
c. For those side lengths we don’t have enough information to calculate, what information would you need to complete the calculations?

(a) There is enough information to calculate the lengths of all of a, b, c, and d.

(b) We are given cos(x) = 5/13, so sin(x) = 12/13 and tan(x) = 12/5. Then

12%2Fa+=+cos%28x%29+=+5%2F13 --> a = 156/5
b%2F12+=+tan%28x%29+=+12%2F5 --> b = 144/5
By similar triangles, b%2F12+=+12%2Fc --> bc = 144 --> c =5
By the Pythagorean Theorem, d = 13

(c) not applicable....
