Anyone here that can help me find out (A->C) and (B->C) here?

And the way you find it out would have been nice to know to :P

This is a 30 - 60 - 90   right triangle

 

The sides are in the ratio ... 1, sqrt(3), 2       where the shortest side is opposite the smallest angle, the next shortest side is opposite the second largest angle, and the hypotenuse is opposite the 90 degree angle....so we have.....   

 

AC = sqrt(3)* 9  = about  15.588 m

 

BC = 2 * 9  = 18  m

 

 

 

cool cool cool

AC=9*tan(60)

( tan(60) = AC/9 )

 

BC=9/cos(60)

( cos(60) = 9/BC )
