1. Find the measures of the following to the nearest tenth of a degree.

15cm

W 8cm T

a. The length HT

Pythagoras Theorem

a2 + b2 = c2

HT2 = 152 + 82

HT2 = 125 + 64

HT2 = 189

√HT2 = √189

HT = 13.7

b. The magnitude of angle T

Opposite
Tan =
Adjacent
15
Tan (angle T) =
8
Tan (angle T) = 1.875

Tan-1(1.875) = Angle T

61.9 = Angle T

Answer= 61.9⁰

2. What is the area of the given triangle?
