A triangular brace has an angle measure of 30 degrees, with a side opposite
this angle measuring 8 inches. The base of the triangular brace, which is
adjacent to the given angle measure, is 11 inches in length. Which of the
following statements is correct?
A. There is not a solution for the angle opposite the side measuring
11 inches.
B. The angle opposite the side measuring 11 inches has one solution
of approximately 43 degrees.
C. The angle opposite the side measuring 11 inches has one solution
of approximately 62 degrees.
D. The angle opposite the side measuring 11 inches, has two
solutions of approximately 43 degrees and 137 degrees.

Respuesta :

The angle opposite the side measuring 11 inches has one solution of approximately 43°. Thus, the correct option is B.

What is Sine rule?

The sine rule of trigonometry helps us to equate the side of the triangles to the angles of the triangles. It is given by the formula,

[tex]\dfrac{Sin\ A}{\alpha} =\dfrac{Sin\ A}{\beta} =\dfrac{Sin\ A}{\gamma}[/tex]

where Sin A is the angle and α is the length of the side of the triangle opposite to angle A,

Sin B is the angle and β is the length of the side of the triangle opposite to angle B,

Sin C is the angle and γ is the length of the side of the triangle opposite to angle C.

Using the sine rule, the measurement of the angle of opposite the side measuring 11 inches can be done. Therefore, the measure can be written as,

8/ Sin(30°) = 11/ Sin(θ)

Sin(θ) = [11 × Sin(30°)]/8

Sin(θ) = 0.6875

θ = Sin⁻¹ (0.6875)

θ = 43.4325° ≈ 43°

Hence, The angle opposite the side measuring 11 inches has one solution of approximately 43°. Thus, the correct option is B.
