Step 1
Triangle with sides 30, 18, and 20: To solve for the unknown sides, we can use the Pythagorean theorem. According to the theorem, in a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other Show more…

Solve each of the following triangles ABC for all the missing parts. Draw a picture of the triangle with the parts that are given. Show a set up for an equation and then use your calculator to find the answer. Round angles and sides to the nearest tenth. Don't forget to label angles and sides with units. 1). A = 10°, B = 115°, and b = 18 cm 2). B = 34°, C = 82°, and a = 5.6 ft 3). B = 79°, a = 55 in, and c = 32 in
