Question

What are the values of a and b?

Answer 1

Explanation:

By using cosine rules:

6/sin45° = b/sin90°

b = 6× sin45°/sin90°

b = 9.124(3d.p)

Also,

using Pythagoras theorm of right-triangle

b² = 6² + a²

9.124² = 6² + a²

83.247376 = 36 + a²

83.247376-36 = a²

47.247376 = a²

√47.247376 = a

6.874 = a
