Explanation:
First you have to know some formulas. First, I will show how to find a leg of a triangle.
Then turn this around and get
So now you plug in the numbers.
And after simplifying,
And
Now
Explanation:
#"find the third side (adjacent) using "color(blue)"Pythagoras' theorem"#
#rArr"adjacent "=sqrt(39^2-15^2)=36#
#rArrsinA="opposite"/"hypotenuse"=15/39=5/13#
#cosA="adjacent"/"hypotenuse"=36/39=12/13#
#tanA="opposite"/"adjacent"=15/36=5/12#
Explanation:
Given :
As per Pythagoras theorem,
