A room 9m wide has a span roof which slopes at 34 degrees on one side and 44 degrees on the other. Find the length of the roof slopes, correct to the nearest mm

Slope sides are;

5.07 m and 6.39 m

Step-by-step explanation:

I've attached a drawn diagram showing a triangle representing the roof slopes and I have attached it.

From the image attached, the missing angle is θ.

From sum of angles in a triangle,

θ = 180 - (44 + 34)

θ = 102°

Now, a & b represent the slopes of the roof.

Thus, using law of sines which is that;

a/sin A = b/sin B = c/sin C, we can solve as follows;

a/sin 34 = 9/sin 102

a = (9 × sin 34)/sin 102

a = (9 × 0.5512)/0.9781

a = 5.07 m

b/sin 44 = 9/sin 102

b = (9 × sin 44)/sin 102

b = (9 × 0.6947)/0.9781

b = 6.39 m
