RIGHT TRIANGLE STUFF

In each of the following, c is the hypotenuse, γ the right angle, a the leg opposite angle a , and b the leg opposite angle β .

1. α = 45° , c = 4

2. β = 60° , a = 3

3. a = 5, b = 6  

4. a = x, b = 1
 
5. a = 2, c =

6. c = x, a = 1   

7. b = y, c = 2

8. α = 30° , a = x
Find a, b, tan β

ANSWERS:

1.  a = b = 2√2
    tan β = 1
2.  b = 3√3
    c = 6
    sin β = √3/2
    sec α = 2√3/3
3.  c = √61
    sin α =
    tan β = 6/5
4.   c =
    sin α =
    tan β = 1/x
5.   b = 2√2
    cos α = √6/3
    tan α = √2/2
6.  b =
    sin α = 1/x
    sin β =
    tan β =
7.  a =
    sin α =
    cos α = y/2
    tan β =
8.   b = x3
    c = 2x
    tan β = √3
