1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to find the missing elements (sides and angles), the perimeter, and the area of the given right triangles.
Triangle a) has side a=45ma=45m and angle C=25C=25^\circ given.
Triangle b) has sides 5km5km and 12km12km given.

2. Solution Steps

a) For triangle a):
We have a right triangle with side a=45ma = 45 m and angle C=25C = 25^\circ.
Since it's a right triangle, angle A=90A = 90^\circ.
The sum of angles in a triangle is 180180^\circ, so B=1809025=65B = 180^\circ - 90^\circ - 25^\circ = 65^\circ.
Now, we can find side bb using trigonometric functions:
sin(C)=ba\sin(C) = \frac{b}{a}
b=asin(C)=45sin(25)45×0.4226=19.017mb = a \sin(C) = 45 \sin(25^\circ) \approx 45 \times 0.4226 = 19.017 m
We can find side cc using the Pythagorean theorem or trigonometric functions:
cos(C)=ca\cos(C) = \frac{c}{a}
c=acos(C)=45cos(25)45×0.9063=40.7835mc = a \cos(C) = 45 \cos(25^\circ) \approx 45 \times 0.9063 = 40.7835 m
The perimeter P=a+b+c=45+19.017+40.7835=104.8005mP = a + b + c = 45 + 19.017 + 40.7835 = 104.8005 m
The area Area=12bc=12×19.017×40.7835387.60m2Area = \frac{1}{2} b c = \frac{1}{2} \times 19.017 \times 40.7835 \approx 387.60 m^2
b) For triangle b):
We have a right triangle with legs 5km5km and 12km12km. Let a=5kma=5km and b=12kmb=12km.
We can find side xx (the hypotenuse) using the Pythagorean theorem:
x2=a2+b2x^2 = a^2 + b^2
x2=52+122=25+144=169x^2 = 5^2 + 12^2 = 25 + 144 = 169
x=169=13kmx = \sqrt{169} = 13 km
Let α\alpha be the angle opposite to side aa, so tan(α)=ab=512\tan(\alpha) = \frac{a}{b} = \frac{5}{12}.
α=arctan(512)22.62\alpha = \arctan(\frac{5}{12}) \approx 22.62^\circ
Let β\beta be the angle opposite to side bb, so tan(β)=ba=125\tan(\beta) = \frac{b}{a} = \frac{12}{5}.
β=arctan(125)67.38\beta = \arctan(\frac{12}{5}) \approx 67.38^\circ
The perimeter P=a+b+x=5+12+13=30kmP = a + b + x = 5 + 12 + 13 = 30 km
The area Area=12ab=12×5×12=30km2Area = \frac{1}{2} a b = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 12 = 30 km^2

3. Final Answer

a) For triangle a):
B=65B = 65^\circ
b19.017mb \approx 19.017 m
c40.7835mc \approx 40.7835 m
