To find angle \(B\), we can use the fact that the angles in a triangle add up to \(180^\circ\). Since angle \(C\) is \(90^\circ\) and angle \(A\) is \(57.4^\circ\), we can calculate angle \(B\) as follows: \[ B = 180^\circ - A - C = 180^\circ - 57.4^\circ - 90^\circ = 32.6^\circ \] To find the lengths of sides \(a\) and \(b\), we can apply the sine and cosine functions. Using the given values: \[ a = c \cdot \sin(A) = 22.4 \cdot \sin(57.4^\circ) \approx 22.4 \cdot 0.84 \approx 18.8 \, \text{ft} \] \[ b = c \cdot \cos(A) = 22.4 \cdot \cos(57.4^\circ) \approx 22.4 \cdot 0.55 \approx 12.3 \, \text{ft} \] Thus, the answers are: \( B \approx 32.6^\circ \), \( a \approx 18.8 \, \text{ft} \), \( b \approx 12.3 \, \text{ft} \). A little fun fact: Right triangles have been studied since ancient times, with civilizations like the Greeks using them to explore concepts of distance and angles. The Pythagorean theorem, which is fundamental in right triangle calculations, has origins dating back to around 500 BC! For anyone venturing into trigonometry, it’s helpful to familiarize yourself with the unit circle and the basic sine, cosine, and tangent ratios. And don’t forget to watch out for common pitfalls, like confusing sine and cosine or miscalculating angle measures!
