If t = 18 and r = 12, find S. Round to the nearest tenth.

Answer:
13.4 or √180
Step-by-step explanation:
Pythagorean theorem states
a² + b² = c²
C^2 is the longest side. The corner of the right angle points to it. The other sides are your a and b squared. They are called the legs or Opposite and Adjacent sides.
Answer: S ≈ 48.2°
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use trigonometry functions to solve.
Looking at angle S, t = 18 is the hypotenuse and r = 12 is the adjacent side. This means we can use the cosine function.
[tex]\displaystyle cos(S) = \frac{\text{adjacent side}}{\text{hypotenuse }}=\frac{12}{18}[/tex]
[tex]\displaystyle cos^{-1} (cos(S)) = (\frac{\text{adjacent side}}{\text{hypotenuse }}=\frac{12}{18})cos^{-1}[/tex]
[tex]S = 48.189685...\\S \;$\approx$\; 48.2^{\circ}[/tex]
