The hypotenuse of a right traingle abc, line segment ac, measures 13 cm. the length of line segment bc is 5cm. what is the approximate difference between m angle c and m angle a

The difference between m∠C and m∠A = 44.76°

Step-by-step explanation:

In ΔABC

∵ AC is the hypotenuse

∴ m∠B = 90°

∵ AC = 13 cm , BC = 5 cm

By using the trigonometry functions

∴ cos∠C = 5/13

∴ m∠C = = 67.38°

∵ m∠A + m∠C = 90

∴ m∠A = 90 - 67.38 = 22.62

∴The difference between m∠C and m∠A = 67.38 - 22.62 = 44.76°
