Step-by-step solution for: Trigonometic Ratios (SOH CAH TOA): Missing Side Lengths and Angle ...
Let's solve each problem step-by-step using trigonometry (SOHCAHTOA), which applies to right-angled triangles.
We'll use:
- SOH: $\sin(\theta) = \frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$
- CAH: $\cos(\theta) = \frac{\text{Adjacent}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$
- TOA: $\tan(\theta) = \frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Adjacent}}$
We’ll also use inverse trigonometric functions: $\sin^{-1}$, $\cos^{-1}$, $\tan^{-1}$.

#### 1)
Right triangle with:
- Opposite = 4 cm
- Hypotenuse = 9 cm
Use SOH:
$$
\sin(x) = \frac{4}{9} \Rightarrow x = \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{9}\right) \approx \sin^{-1}(0.4444) \approx 26.4^\circ
$$
✔ Answer: $x = 26.4^\circ$
---
#### 2)
Right triangle with:
- Opposite = 14 cm
- Adjacent = 10 cm
Use TOA:
$$
\tan(x) = \frac{14}{10} = 1.4 \Rightarrow x = \tan^{-1}(1.4) \approx 54.5^\circ
$$
✔ Answer: $x = 54.5^\circ$
---
#### 3)
Right triangle with:
- Opposite = 7 cm
- Adjacent = 12 cm
Use TOA:
$$
\tan(x) = \frac{7}{12} \approx 0.5833 \Rightarrow x = \tan^{-1}(0.5833) \approx 30.2^\circ
$$
✔ Answer: $x = 30.2^\circ$
---
#### 4)
Right triangle with:
- Opposite = 15 cm
- Hypotenuse = 18 cm
Use SOH:
$$
\sin(x) = \frac{15}{18} = 0.8333 \Rightarrow x = \sin^{-1}(0.8333) \approx 56.4^\circ
$$
✔ Answer: $x = 56.4^\circ$
---
#### 5)
Right triangle with:
- Opposite = 0.83 cm
- Adjacent = 0.99 cm
Use TOA:
$$
\tan(x) = \frac{0.83}{0.99} \approx 0.8384 \Rightarrow x = \tan^{-1}(0.8384) \approx 40.1^\circ
$$
✔ Answer: $x = 40.1^\circ$
---
#### 6)

✔ Answer: $x = 17.5^\circ$
---
#### 3)
Right triangle with:
- Adjacent = 6.4 cm
- Angle = $62^\circ$
- Find hypotenuse $x$
Use CAH:
$$
\cos(62^\circ) = \frac{6.4}{x} \Rightarrow x = \frac{6.4}{\cos(62^\circ)} \approx \frac{6.4}{0.4695} \approx 13.64 \text{ cm}
$$
✔ Answer: $x = 13.6$ cm
---
#### 4)

Right triangle with:
- Adjacent = 2.3 cm
- Angle = $13^\circ$
- Find opposite $x$

$$
✔ Answer: $x = 0.531$ cm
---
#### 6)
Right triangle with:
- Opposite = 8 m = 800 cm
- Adjacent = 620 cm
- Find angle $x$
Use TOA:
$$
\tan(x) = \frac{800}{620} \approx 1.2903 \Rightarrow x = \tan^{-1}(1.2903) \approx 52.2^\circ
$$
✔ Answer: $x = 52.2^\circ$
