Problem 1-2: In the triangle shown, c = 25 ft. and angle A = 48°.

Given:

A= 48°

c = 25 ft

Find: a, b, h

Assumptions: C = 90°

Solution:
SIN 𝐵= 𝒉/�
�+𝐵=� 𝑆𝐼𝑁 �= 𝑎/� 𝑎^2 + 𝑏^2= �^2

b= √(�^2 − ℎ=𝑆𝐼𝑁 𝐵 ∗𝑎
𝐵=� −� 𝑎=� ∗𝑆𝐼𝑁 � 𝑎^█(2@) )

B = 42° a = 18.6 ft b = 16.7 ft h = 12.4 ft

Answer: a= 18.6 ft

b= 16.7 ft

h= 12.4 ft

Recommend.: Same as answer.

Problem 1.3: Determine length of side a and measure of two acute angles.

Given:

72.0 ft

67.3 ft

Find: a, and two acute angles

Assumptions: C = 90 °

Solution: B

a
A

C A
b

C = 90 ° c= 72.0 ft
b= 67.3 ft

𝑆𝐼𝑁 �= 𝑎/�
𝑎^2+𝑏^2 = �^2

𝑎^2= �^(2 )−𝑏^2 �=�𝑆𝐼𝑁(𝑎/�)

a= 25.6 ft A = 21 ° B = 69 °

Answer: a= 25.6 ft

A= 21 °

B= 69 °

Recomm.: Same as answer.

Problem 1.23: Convert the following quantities to SI units.

a) 2212 lb to kg
b) 87 ft² to mm² and m²
c) 18460 psi to MPa and kPa

a) 2212 lb to kg

1 kg = 2.2 lb

2212 lb = ###

b) 87 ft² to mm² and m²

1 in = 25.4 mm

1 in² = 645 mm²

144 in² = (1 ft)²

87 ft² = 8.08E+06 mm²

8.08E+06 mm² = 8.08E+03 m²

c) 18460 psi to MPa and kPa

1 psi = 6894.76 Pa

18460 psi = 1.27E+08 Pa

1.27E+08 Pa = 1.27E+14 MPa

= 1.27E+17 kPa

Answer: a) ###

b) 8.08E+06 mm²
8.08E+03 m²

c) 1.27E+14 MPa
1.27E+17 kPa
