1. Problem Description

The problem requires us to find the lengths of sides bb and cc in a right-angled triangle ABC, where angle C=25C = 25^\circ, side a=45a = 45 m, and angle A=90A = 90^\circ.

2. Solution Steps

We are given a right triangle with hypotenuse a=45a = 45 meters, angle C=25C = 25^\circ, and we need to find the lengths of side bb and side cc.
We can use trigonometric functions to solve this problem.
Since we know the hypotenuse and the angle C, we can use the sine and cosine functions.
sin(C)=oppositehypotenuse=ca \sin(C) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{c}{a}
cos(C)=adjacenthypotenuse=ba \cos(C) = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{b}{a}
Using the sine function:
sin(25)=c45 \sin(25^\circ) = \frac{c}{45}
c=45sin(25) c = 45 \cdot \sin(25^\circ)
Using a calculator, we find that sin(25)0.4226\sin(25^\circ) \approx 0.4226.
c450.4226 c \approx 45 \cdot 0.4226
c19.017 c \approx 19.017
Using the cosine function:
cos(25)=b45 \cos(25^\circ) = \frac{b}{45}
b=45cos(25) b = 45 \cdot \cos(25^\circ)
Using a calculator, we find that cos(25)0.9063\cos(25^\circ) \approx 0.9063.
b450.9063 b \approx 45 \cdot 0.9063
b40.7835 b \approx 40.7835

3. Final Answer

The length of side bb is approximately 40.7840.78 m.
The length of side cc is approximately 19.0219.02 m.
Final Answer:
b = 40.78 m
c = 19.02 m
