Question 7 • Mathematics II

A right triangle has one side that measures 4 in. The angle opposite that side measures 80 degrees What is the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle? Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer
A
4 point 1 in.
B
22 point 7 in.
C
23 point 0 in.
D
3 point 9 in.

Explanation

Use sine because the 4-inch side is opposite the 80° angle, and the hypotenuse is the longest side: sin(80°) = 4 ÷ hypotenuse. So the hypotenuse is 4 ÷ sin(80°) ≈ 4.1 inches, making “4 point 1 in.” the correct choice.
