Answer:
large triangle:
base = 6.64 cm
hypotenuse = 8.31 cm
small triangle:
base = 4 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
large triangle:
tan 37 = 5/base
0.7536 = 5/base
base = 6.64 cm
using the Pythagorean theorem:
hypotenuse² = 5² + 6.64²
hypotenuse² = 25 = 44.02 = 69.02
hypotenuse = 8.31 cm
small triangle:
using the Pythagorean theorem:
base² = 5² - 3²
base² = 25 - 9 = 16
base = 4 cm
