Question

Right triangle LMN
is drawn on paper. The right angle is located at vertex L
with side length MN
as the hypotenuse. The side length measurements are LM=8 units
, MN=10 units
, and NL=6 units
. What is the approximate angle measure at vertex N
?(1 point)

Answer 1

Angle N has opposite side LM = 8 and hypotenuse MN = 10, so sin N = 8/10 = 0.8. Thus N = arcsin(0.8) ≈ 53.1°, so ≈ 53°.
