Question

If a=15 yards
and ∠C=62 degrees
, what is the measure of h to the nearest yard?

Answer 1

To find the measure of h, we can use the trigonometric ratio sine, which relates the opposite side (h) to the hypotenuse (a) in a right triangle with angle C.

sin(C) = opposite/hypotenuse

sin(62 degrees) = h/15 yards

h = 15 yards * sin(62 degrees)
h ≈ 13 yards

Therefore, the measure of h to the nearest yard is approximately 13 yards.
