angle B is an acute angle in a right triangle. what is a reasonable approximation for angle B if the ratio for the opposite leg divided by the hypotenuse is 0.67?

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.73 rad (approx.), or 42 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The "ratio for the opposite leg divided by the hypotenuse is 0.67" implies that

sin B = 0.67.  To find the measure of the angle B, we need only to find

arcsin 0.67 = B.  Using a calculator, arcsin 0.67 = 0.73 rad (approx.), or

42 degrees.

The  reasonable approximation for angle B will be [tex]42.06^\circ[/tex].

Given,

Angle B is an acute angle of the given right triangle.

The ratio of opposite leg to hypotenuse is 0.67 .

We have to find the value of angle B.

Since the side opposite to angle B is perpendicular.

Here,

[tex]\dfrac{\rm Perpendicular}{\rm hypotenuse} =0.67[/tex]

Since the ratio of perpendicular to hypotenuse will be known as sinusoidal (sin) of the angle consisting the hypotenuse. So

[tex]\rm sinB=\dfrac{\rm Perpendicular}{\rm hypotenuse}[/tex]

Now, [tex]\rm sinB=0.67[/tex]

Or,

[tex]\angle \rm B=sin^{-1}\ 0.67[/tex]

[tex]\angle \rm B=42.06^\circ[/tex]

Hence the value of angle B is 42 degrees.
