In ∆ ABC, right-angled at B, AB = 24 cm, BC = 7 cm. Find the angle A.

17°

Step-by-step explanation:

Using trigonometrical ratios we have a triangle with opposite of A° as 7cm and adjacent A° as 24cm as drawn in the above diagram.

Using trigonometry the value to be used is Tangent due to the availability of only the opposite and adjacent sides.

tan = opp/adj

tan x(x is the angle) = 7/24

tan x = 0.2917 ~= 0.3

tan x = 0.3

x = tan^-1 0.3

x = 16.7 ~= 17°.

true statements:

a) x + y = y + x   ⇒ commutative property of addition

b) (x * y) * z = x * (y * z) ⇒ associative property of multiplication

d) (x + y) + z = x + (y + z) ⇒ associative property of addition

false statements:

c) x - y = y - x   should be: x - y = - y + x

e) (x - y) - z = x - (y - z) should be: (x - y) - z = x - (y + z)
