Which Triangle Faction Should Be Used To Solve For The Side BC If You Know B And Side AC class=

Answer :

we have a right triangle, then we can use triangle fractions

to find CD with the angle B we use tangent because

[tex]\tan (\alpha)=\frac{O}{A}[/tex]

where lapha is the reference angle(on this case B), O the opposite side from the triangle and A the adjacent side from the angle differente to the hypotenuse

[tex]\tan (B)=\frac{5}{BC}[/tex]

and we can solve for BC

[tex]BC=\frac{5}{\tan (B)}[/tex]
