Which equation can be used to find the length of AC?

Answered by maham237 @



With respect to the given angle of 40°

AC = b, is the opposite side

AB = 10 in is the hypotenuse.

Using the rules of trigonometric ratios,

We know the ratio associating opposite & hypotenuse is sin.

So we have

sin\theta= \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse}

Substituting the values we get

sin 40^{0}  = \frac{b}{10}

Multiplying both sides by 10 we get

b = 10 sin 40°

So

AC = 10 sin40°

First option is the right answer.
