Answer
b = 22.6 units
c = 25.6 units
Explanation
In a right angle triangle, the side opposite the right angle is the Hypotenuse, the side opposite the given angle that is non-right angle is the Opposite and the remaining side is the Adjacent.
For this question,
Hypotenuse = c
Opposite = 12
Adjacent = b
Trignometric ratios can then be used to find b and c.
CAH and TOA
Cos 28° = (Adj/Hyp)
Cos 28° = (b/c)
Tan 28° = (Opp/Adj)
Tan 28° = (12/b)
Cross multiply
b = 12/(Tan 28°)
b = 12/0.5317
b = 22.57
We can then solve for c
Cos 28° = (b/c)
Cos 28° = (22.57/c)
Cross multiply
c = (22.57/Cos 28°)
c = (22.57/0.8829)
c = 25.56 units
Hope this Helps!!!
