We are given that ABC is a right triangle. AB is equal to
10 and the Angle A is 27 degree. Also, AC is the
hypotenuse.
Now cos A = adjacent side /
hypotenuse
=> cos A = AB/
AC
=> cos 27 = 10 /
AC
=> 0.891 = 10 /
AC
=> AC = 10/
.891
=> AB = 11.22 (
approximately)
For
BC we can use the Pythagorean Theorem. We have
AC^2 = AB^2
+ BC^2
=> 11.22^2 = (10)^2 +
BC^2
=> BC^2 = 11.22^2 -
10^2
=> BC^2 = 125.96 -
100
=> BC^2 =
25.96
=> BC = 5.09 (
approximately)
Therefore the
required value of BC is 5.09
