Right triangle

Calculate the missing side b and interior angles, perimeter and area of ​​a right triangle if a=10 cm and hypotenuse c = 16 cm.

Result

b =  12.49 cm
A =  38.682 °
B =  51.318 °
C =  90 °
o =  38.49 cm
S =  62.45 cm2

Solution:

a=10 cm c=16 cm b=c2−a2=162−102=2 39≐12.49=12.49  cm a = 10 \ cm \ \\ c = 16 \ cm \ \\ b = \sqrt{ c^2-a^2 } = \sqrt{ 16^2-10^2 } = 2 \ \sqrt{ 39 } \doteq 12.49 = 12.49 \ \text{ cm }
A=180/π⋅ (arcsin⁡(a/c))=180/3.1416⋅ (arcsin⁡(10/16))≐38.6822=38.682∘=38∘40′56"A = 180/ \pi \cdot \ ( \arcsin(a/c)) = 180/ 3.1416 \cdot \ ( \arcsin(10/16)) \doteq 38.6822 = 38.682 ^\circ = 38^\circ 40'56"
B=90−A=90−38.6822=51.318=51.318∘=51∘19′5"B = 90 - A = 90 - 38.6822 = 51.318 = 51.318 ^\circ = 51^\circ 19'5"
