I need to go but can u wait for me in here

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

ill be back, i gotta go too

Hi Hikari - this looks quite tricky at first, but can you see how to calculate the angle marked in red? Hint: exterior angle of the smaller right angled triangle equals the angle marked in red plus 90 degrees.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey dumbcow, can you explain guyc hint about the exterior angle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm back

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

ok back, this is a 30-60-90 right triangle so the upper angle is 60 have you learned sin and cos functions ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

wait never mind, a 30-60-90 triangle is a special triangle with ratio 1:sqrt(3):2 for our triangle 9:9sqrt(3):18 therefore k + 3sqrt(3) = 9sqrt(3) k = 6sqrt(3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so702=6sq3

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

k = 6sq(3) what is 702?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk why

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got k + 27=729

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 time 3 time 3=27 9X9X9=729

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

a 30-60-90 triangle is a special triangle with ratio 1:sqrt(3):2 for our triangle 9:9sqrt(3):18 therefore k + 3sqrt(3) = 9sqrt(3) k = 6sqrt(3) sqrt = square root why are you multiplying 3*3*3 and 9*9*9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am sorry that i got myself confuse

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

thats alright its hard to explain without drawing it out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

1:sqrt(3):2 means vertical side length is 1 bottom side length is sqrt(3) hypotenuse or diagonal side is 2 because for our triangle the vertical side is 9 9 is our scale factor multiply everything by 9 9:9sq3:18 bottom side is 9sq3 diagonal is 18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i am confuse now

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

sorry answer is k = 6sqrt(3) i'll try to scan in a picture later

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's aok can help me with other questions

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i saw it already and i got it
