Question

In right triangle ABC, AB=8 and AC=12. Find measure of angle B to the nearest degree.

Answer 1

I don’t know I’m sorry

Answer 2

For this case we have to:

`AB = 8`is the height of the triangle.

`AC = 12` is the base of the triangle

We want to find the value of angle B, so we have:

`Tangent \ (B) = \frac {Cathet \ opposite} {Cathet \ adjacent}\\Tangent \ (B) = \frac {12} {8}\\Tangent \ (B) = \frac {3} {2}\\B = arc \ tangent (\frac {3} {2})\\B = 56.30993247 \ grades`

Rounding:

`B = 56.3\ degrees`

ANswer:

`B = 56.3\ degrees`
