i need some help with a problem
kay'
what is problem ???
have to save the picture.
okay
hey san!
HI
this is the problem i have
you taking up int..alga? san
no its my college math class i have to retake over
k
what type of problem are we looking at; similar triangles ; or the same triangle rotated?
how do i figure this out?
you just have one angle and one side? are these supposed to be similar triangles?
if the sin(28) = 14/30 ... that might help distinguish my confusion
yea thats what they gave me for the problem
how can we prove them similar..
and what on earth is "ciretrice"?
how can you use trigonometry in non right triangle
27.82 might be close enough to go for it :)
@amistre i think this is a law of sines problem yes? you do not have a right triangle
doh!!
In Exercises 57–62, find the length of the sides and the measures of the angles for the congruent triangles ABC and A′B′C′.
well, at any rate, id say its close enough for same triangle rotated ;)
this is the question
id try 14 and see if its correct ... but thats just me
hey guys~ I dont know how to do the problem.. :( so can ya explain please
the problem is not well defined in order to actually know what to do to begin with :)
well if you read up i posted what the question.. In Exercises 57–62, find the length of the sides and the measures of the angles for the congruent triangles ABC and A′B′C′.
The length of side A' B'
ok i see what is going on
im not good with terminology; what does congruent mean again? same triangles or almost the same?
they are supposed to be similar triangles, even though they are n ot
If two triangles are congruent they will have exactly the same three sides and exactly the same three angles.
since AB = 14; then A'B' of a congruent triangle would be ///14
in other words; it doesnt matter where or how I park my car, its always gonna be my car
for first triangle we have \[\frac{\sin(84)}{30}=\frac{\sin(C)}{14}\] \[\frac{14\sin(84)}{30}=\sin(C)\] \[C=\arcsin(\frac{14\sin(84)}{30})\]
OMG i getting Lost~ how did u come up with 14?
turns out C is not 28 degrees but it is close. it is 27.65 degrees. so i guess you are supposed to say the triangles are similar, even though they are not
@sandi is this a trig class?
look at the picture .... it tells us that AB is 14; and the congruent side A'B' has to be 14
if i am holding a yard stick that is 3 feet long and i lay it on the ground; how long is it?
what do u mean satellite? this is for my college math class.
@amistre the triangles are not the same. they are supposed to be similar.
i mean is this a class on trigonometry?
class i meant to write class. i do not know what a ciretrice is
"find the length of the sides and the measures of the angles for the \(\underline{congruent}\) triangles ABC and A′B′C′ "
geometry
@amistre i do not see those words, maybe my picture is not what you see
@sandi do you use sines and cosines in this clas?
"sandii2006 Lifesaver 0 Good Answer well if you read up i posted what the question.. In Exercises 57–62, find the length of the sides and the measures of the angles for the congruent triangles ABC and A′B′C′."
its was an extra detail added later
not that i know of satellite they give us problems and we have to answer them
ooooooooooooooooooh here In Exercises 57–62, find the length of the sides and the measures of the angles for the congruent triangles ABC and A′B′C′.
thats the one lol
ok we can do this. they are congruent. so all angles the same. A = 68 B= 28 C= 84 yes?
AB = A'B' by definition of congruency
I will be on here ALOT in the next 6 weeks.. I failed college math the first time I took the stupid class.. :(
even though it is wrong, fine.
AB = 14 ergo; A'B'=14
and all sides are the same. AB=A'B'=14
got it. whose buried in grants tomb?
sally fields?
i dont know the law of sine.. so i give up :P
btw that angle is not 28 degrees. tell ciretrice whoever that is
no she is buried in potter's field
it says find the length and sides and measures of angle
harry potters field of dreams weaver ...
they give you all 3 sides and all 3 angles split up into 2 identical triangles; and they want you to be able to see that it doesnt matter where you place an object, its values never change
uhhhh guys! your confusing me big time... lol
sorry
sorry i will stop being silly
they take a triangle; and turn it upwards; do the measurements change at all?
no they dont
then relate each part to its twin
so wouldnt the lenght be 28?
A'C' = 28 so its evil twin AC = 28
man ray harryhousen potters hair extension field of dream-sicles. sorry i couldn't resist
lol
and then AB would be 14
AB = 14 so its good twin A'C' = 14 correct
name one evil and the other good; and compare the them
so my answer would be A'B=14
indeed it would; but should that be metric or footric?
it doesnt ask for that...
:) then dont bother with it
ok ty
youre welcome :)
i'm sure I will be back with more questions.. and problems.. :)
