How to find missing side lengths with an angle and one length?

In order to solve a triangle, you need three of the six bits of information that define the triangle (3 angles, 3 sides), including at least one side. If you have one angle and one side, you only have two, not three. The triangle cannot be solved.

However, if your triangle is a right triangle, and the angle referred to in the problem statement is not the right angle, then you have the required information. In general, you make use of the definitions of the trigonometric functions. These can be remembered by the mnemonic SOH CAH TOA.

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
