Right angle

In a right triangle ABC with a right angle at the apex C, we know the side length AB = 24 cm and the angle at the vertex B = 71°. Calculate the length of the legs of the triangle.

Correct result:

a =  7.8136 cm
b =  22.6924 cm

Solution:

$$\begin{gathered} c=24\text{ cm } \\ B=71^{\circ } \\ \cos B=a:c \\ a=c\cdot \cos B^{\circ }=c\cdot \cos 71^{\circ }=24\cdot \cos 71^{\circ }=24\cdot 0.325568=7.814=7.8136\text{ cm} \end{gathered}$$

$$\begin{gathered} \sin B=b:c \\ b=c\cdot \sin B^{\circ }=c\cdot \sin 71^{\circ }=24\cdot \sin 71^{\circ }=24\cdot 0.945519=22.692=22.6924\text{ cm} \end{gathered}$$
