1. Problem 5: Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of side $b$ (hypotenuse $AC$) in triangle $ABC$ where $AB=6$ cm and $BC=8$ cm.
2. The Pythagorean Theorem states: $$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$$ where $c$ is the hypotenuse.
3. Here, $AB=6$ cm and $BC=8$ cm are the legs, and $AC=b$ is the hypotenuse.
4. Substitute values: $$6^2 + 8^2 = b^2$$
5. Calculate squares: $$36 + 64 = b^2$$
6. Sum: $$100 = b^2$$
7. Take square root: $$b = \sqrt{100} = 10$$ cm.

1. Problem 6: Find measure of angle $\angle C$ in triangle $ABC$ with $AB=13$ cm, $BC=5$ cm, and $AC$ unknown.
2. Use cosine rule or trigonometry. Since $\angle C$ is opposite side $AB=13$ cm, and adjacent sides are $BC=5$ cm and $AC$ unknown, we use cosine:
3. Use cosine definition: $$\cos(\angle C) = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$$
4. Here, adjacent side to $\angle C$ is $BC=5$ cm, hypotenuse is $AB=13$ cm.
5. Calculate cosine: $$\cos(\angle C) = \frac{5}{13}$$
6. Find angle: $$\angle C = \cos^{-1}\left(\frac{5}{13}\right) \approx 67.38^\circ$$.

1. Problem 7: Find side $x$ in a right triangle with angle $17^\circ$, opposite side $9.9$ m, adjacent side $x$.
2. Use tangent function: $$\tan(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}$$
3. Substitute values: $$\tan(17^\circ) = \frac{9.9}{x}$$
4. Solve for $x$: $$x = \frac{9.9}{\tan(17^\circ)}$$
5. Calculate $\tan(17^\circ) \approx 0.3057$.
6. Compute $x$: $$x = \frac{9.9}{0.3057} \approx 32.39$$ m.
Final answers:
- Problem 5: $b=10$ cm
- Problem 6: $\angle C \approx 67.38^\circ$
- Problem 7: $x \approx 32.39$ m
