Solution Steps

Step 1: Find Angle A

Since it's a right triangle, one angle is 90°. We are given another angle as 50°. The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°. Therefore, angle A = 180° - 90° - 50° = 40°.

Step 2: Find side c

We can use the sine function to find side c. sin(50°) = opposite/hypotenuse = 19/c. Therefore, c = 19/sin(50°) ≈ 24.8.

Step 3: Find side b

We can use the cosine function to find side b. cos(50°) = adjacent/hypotenuse = b/c. We already calculated c ≈ 24.8. Therefore, b = 24.8 * cos(50°) ≈ 15.9.

Final Answer

A = 40° b ≈ 15.9 c ≈ 24.8
