Use SOH CAH TOA? do you understand this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

noo:(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anyone?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know trignometry????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how 'bout using similarity with the 45-45-90 triangle whose sides are \(\large \frac{\sqrt2}{2} \), \(\large \frac{\sqrt2}{2} \), 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know how to use sin tan cos with some problems but i keep messing up on this one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let unknown side be x...... cos 45=x/23 \[\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{x}{23}\] \[x=\frac{23}{\sqrt{2}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or if angles are in the ratio 1:1:2 ....sides are in the ratio \[1:1:\sqrt{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok here is the solution what you have is a right angle isosceles triangle so angle ACB is also 45 degrees now BC=23 ft= hypotneuse Angle ACB= 45 You have to find the height Use sine here Since \[\sin = height \div hypotenuse \] \[ \sin 45= 23\div h (where h=hyptenuse)\] \[Sin 45 =1\div \sqrt{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now (1/sqrt(2))= h/23 h=23/sqrt(2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@The_Prophet..will you tell me where you got the 1/\_2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Aria11 there is a table of trigonometric standard angles google it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cos 45=1/sqrt 2.......by definition .....u need to learn it...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Aria11 from there @THE_PROPHET and I agree with prophet you need to learn it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok ty imp1988 and the_prophet
