Answer:
C. a = 6√3, b = 12, c = 6√2
Step-by-step explanation:
First let's find b using the cos. The cos is the adjacent side if the angle divided by the hypotenuse. We know the value of the adjacent side and we know that cos(60°) = 1/2 = 0.5:
cos(60°) = 6/b
0.5 = 6/b
b = 6/0.5
b = 12
Now we can find a using the Pythagorean theorem:
b² = 6² + a²
12² = 6² + a²
144 = 36 + a²
a² = 144 - 36
a² = 108
a = √108
a = 6√3
And now we can find c using cos again:
cos(45°) = c/b
√2/2 = c/12
c = 12•√2/2
c = 6√2
