1. **State the problem:** We have a right triangle with angle B = 63° and angle A = 27° (since the sum of angles in a triangle is 180° and the right angle at C is 90°).
2. **Identify the sides:** \(\overline{AB}\) is the hypotenuse, \(\overline{AC}\) is the leg opposite angle B, and \(\overline{BC}\) is the leg adjacent to angle B.
3. **Use trigonometric ratios:** For angle B,
- Opposite side: \(\overline{AC}\)
- Hypotenuse: \(\overline{AB}\)
The sine function relates opposite side and hypotenuse:
$$\sin(B) = \frac{\overline{AC}}{\overline{AB}}$$
4. **Express \(\overline{AC}\) in terms of \(\overline{AB}\):**
$$\overline{AC} = \overline{AB} \times \sin(63^\circ)$$
5. **Use cosine to find the adjacent side \(\overline{BC}\):**
$$\cos(B) = \frac{\overline{BC}}{\overline{AB}} \implies \overline{BC} = \overline{AB} \times \cos(63^\circ)$$
6. **Since \(\overline{AB}\) is unknown, if given, plug in the value to find \(\overline{AC}\) and \(\overline{BC}\).**
7. **If \(\overline{AB}\) is not given, the missing measurements can be expressed as multiples of \(\overline{AB}\):**
- \(\overline{AC} = \overline{AB} \times 0.8910\) (rounded to 4 decimals)
- \(\overline{BC} = \overline{AB} \times 0.4539\) (rounded to 4 decimals)
**Final answer:**
- \(\overline{AC} \approx 0.9 \times \overline{AB}\)
- \(\overline{BC} \approx 0.45 \times \overline{AB}\)
If \(\overline{AB}\) is provided, multiply to get numeric values rounded to the nearest tenth.
