In a triangle ABC where angle CAB = 90 and angle ABC = 40 and the hypotenuse = 20cm, what is the length CA? Then find the total perimeter of the triangle.

Use SOH CAH TOA to determine which trigonometric function to useTo calculate CA Sine should be usedWe then get an answer of 12.86cm for CAWe can then either use Cosine or pythagorus to calculate AB
Final answer: 47.76cm
