Question

What is the length of Line segment B C? Round to the nearest tenth. Triangle A B C is shown. Angle B C A is a right angle and angle C A B is 65 degrees. The length of hypotenuse B A is 16 centimeters and the length of B C is x. 6.8 cm 7.5 cm 14.5 cm 17.7 cm

Answer 1

C on edge

Explanation:

Answer 2

14.5 =x

Explanation:

Since this is a right triangle we can use trig functions

sin theta = opposite side/ hypotenuse

sin A = BC / AB

sin 65 = x /16

Multiply each side by 16

16 sin 65 =x

14.50092459 =x

14.5 =x
