Answer:
Theta = 37.9 degrees
AC = 11.4
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle, we can use trig functions
tan theta = opp/ adj
tan theta = 7/9
tan ^ -1 tan theta = tan ^-1 (7/9)
theta =37.87498
To 1 decimal place
Theta = 37.9 degrees
We use the Pythagorean theorem to find AC
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
7^2 + 9^2 = AC^2
49+81 = AC^2
130 = AC^2
Taking the square root of each side
sqrt(130) = sqrt(AC^2)
AC = 11.40175
Rounding to 1 decimal place
AC = 11.4
