Question 562537: Find the measuring angle and side measures of triangle abc, given angle a equals 20 degrees, angle c equals 90 degrees, and CB=20 Answer by issacodegard(60) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x=AC and z=BA. The third angle is 180-(20+90)=70 degrees. To find x, we realize that the triangle is a right triangle with legs AC and CB and hypotenuse BA. Therefore,
so
Further, we know that
So,
