Best Answer

you use Pythagoras theorem. Square of the Hypotenuse = square of the other 2 sides

i.e ac squared = ab squared + bc square

= 22 Squared + 32 Squared

= 484 + 1024

= 1508

so ac = square root of 1508

= 38.83 cm(2 d.p)

When you say Tangent of 30 equals -6.40 does the -6.40 represent the length or angle of something else?

In a right triangle, the tangent of an angle other than the right angle is the ratio of the length of the side opposite the angle over the length of the side adjacent to the angle (the side between the angle and the right angle).


How long must a right triangle be?

It can be any length; a right angle triangle just needs to include a right angle somewhere. But length has nothing to do with whether it is a right angle or not.


What is sin y?

The Sine function (abbreviated sin) takes an angle and gives a ratio which is based on the sides of a right triangle. If you have a right triangle, and one of the angles (not the right angle) is labeled y then sin y equals the length of the side opposite of angle y divided by the length of the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse of a right triangle is the longest side, and is always opposite of the right angle.

If angle A equals 32 and angle B equals 58 What type of triangle is it?

all the angles in a triangle have to add up to 180. to find the missing angle : 180 - 32 - 58 = 90 90 is a right angle and since there is a right angle in the triangle, it is a right angled triange
