1. Problem 6: Determine angle C in a right triangle with sides CB = 5 cm, CA = 13 cm, and angle B = 90°.
2. Use the Pythagorean theorem to find side AB:
$$AB = \sqrt{CA^2 - CB^2} = \sqrt{13^2 - 5^2} = \sqrt{169 - 25} = \sqrt{144} = 12\text{ cm}$$
3. To find angle C, use the tangent function:
$$\tan(C) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} = \frac{CB}{AB} = \frac{5}{12}$$
4. Calculate angle C:
$$C = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{5}{12}\right) \approx 22.62^\circ$$
5. Round to the nearest degree:
$$C \approx 23^\circ$$
6. Problem 7: A flagpole creates a 7.9 m long shadow. To find the height of the flagpole, we need the angle of elevation or additional information, which is missing. Please provide the angle of elevation or more data.
