Answer:
1. 29.67°
2. 68.96°
3. 89.85°
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Reference angle = x
Opposite = 45 cm
Adjacent = 79 cm
Therefore:
[tex] tan(x) = \frac{45}{79} [/tex]
[tex] tan(x) = 0.569620253 [/tex]
[tex] x = tan^{-1}(0.569620253) [/tex]
[tex] x = 29.67 [/tex] (nearest hundredth)
2. Reference angle = B
Opposite = 14
Hypotenuse = 15
Therefore:
[tex] sin(B) = \frac{14}{15} [/tex]
[tex] sin(B) = 0.93333 [/tex]
[tex] B = sin^{-1}(0.93333) [/tex]
[tex] B = 68.96 [/tex] (nearest hundredth)
3. Reference angle = x
Adjacent = 238,900 mi
Hypotenuse = 92,955,807 mi
Therefore:
[tex] cos(x) = \frac{238,900}{92,955,807} [/tex]
[tex] x = cos^{-1}(\frac{238,900}{92,955,807}) [/tex]
[tex] x = 89.85 [/tex] (nearest hundredth)
