Solving a Right Triangle Label sides Use SOHCAHTOA Solve for missing side(s) Solve for missing angle(s) You might need to do several problems in one to finish!
Example Solve the Δ A B C __ m A=sin -1.96m A=74 o m B=90-74=16 o
Ex:solve the Δ (round to the nearest tenth) __ A B C =c =c 2 164=c =c m A= tan m A=51.3 o m B= =38.7 o
Example S RT __ r s o r=5.1 m S= m S=70 o
Example solve the triangle 15.7mi 59mi x __
