Answer

Chapter 2 - Section 2.3 Problem Set: 26 (Answer) Drawing : Refer to Figure I $\angle B$ = $41.7^{\circ}$ $c = 4.66$ inches (To three significant digits) $b = 3.10$ inches (To three significant digits)

Work Step by Step

Chapter 2 - Section 2.3 Problem Set: 26 (Solution) Drawing : Refer to Figure I $\angle A$ + $\angle B$ + $90^{\circ}$ = $180^{\circ}$ ($\angle$ sum of $\triangle$) $48.3^{\circ}$ + $\angle B$ + $90^{\circ}$ = $180^{\circ}$ $\angle B$ = $41.7^{\circ}$ $\sin 48.3^{\circ} = \frac{a}{c}$ $c = \frac{3.48}{\sin 48.3^{\circ}}$ $c = 4.66$ inches (To three significant digits) $\cos 48.3^{\circ} = \frac{b}{c}$ $b = 4.66 \cdot \cos 48.3^{\circ}$ $b = 3.10$ inches (To three significant digits)
