OpenStudy (anonymous):

try this one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@nkbxwb ? do you think you can help me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use tangent.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SOH CAH TOA sine= opposite/hypotenuse Cosine= adjacent/hypotenuse tangent= opposite/adjacent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a. 50 yd b. 55 yd c. 60 yd

OpenStudy (amistre64):

tangent will work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know but how do i do it?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

with the inverse tangent functions and a calculator or website that will pop out an answer; 39 is not a common angle to do by hand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sine(39) = x/30 solve for x

OpenStudy (amistre64):

incerse is something else, had a brain slip lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so B?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

not sin; tangent

OpenStudy (amistre64):

30 tan(39) = d

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D? huh

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i use d to indicate an unknown "d"istance

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right, and i got B, is that right?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

maybe, i gotta try that again but in degrees :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay....

OpenStudy (amistre64):

http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=30+tan%2839%29 i get 24.3
