The length of the hypotenuse, line segment AC, in right triangle ABC is 25cm. The length of line segment is 15cm. Which is a approximate measure of angle ACB
According to the Pythagorean Theorem, hypotenuse^2 = leg^2 + leg^2 25^2 = 15^2 + leg^2 625 - 225 = leg^2 leg = 20 Since there is NO diagram, I am guessing at what angle ACB is. sine(ACB) = 20 / 25 = .8 arc sine (.8) = 53.13 degrees
In case it should be the other angle, then it is 36.87 degrees
