anonymous · Answer

Match 	Term 	Definition
	cosine ∡C 	A) fraction 35 over 37
	sine ∡C 	B) fraction 12 over 35
	tangent ∡C 	C) fraction 12 over 37

anonymous · Answer

wheres does a ,b,c go to on the left?

anonymous · Answer

i like to use this little ditty to remember where sine cosine and tangent go

sohcahtoa

do you know this term?

anonymous · Answer

no?

anonymous · Answer

soh(sine)= oppisite/hypotenuse
cah(cosine)=adjacent/hypotenuse
toa(tangent)=oppisite/adjacent

anonymous · Answer

relative to the right angle of the triangle

anonymous · Answer

so where would the numbers go to ?

anonymous · Answer

i have to put the numbers with the correct letter to what the question is asking me to do

anonymous · Answer

??

anonymous · Answer

ok, well the first is 35/37 right?

anonymous · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

which one is it ?
cosine ∡C
sine ∡C
tangent ∡C

anonymous · Answer

ok so from the ditty sohcahtoa, when dealing with a fraction in this case 35/37 and we know were dealing with angle C. what is the hypotenuse of this triangle?(the slanted leg across the 90 degree angle

anonymous · Answer

i will draw to better show you

anonymous · Answer

ok just match them up to the right letter please

anonymous · Answer

anonymous · Answer

Match 	the Term  with the	Definition 
Cosine ∡C 	                  A) fraction 35 over 37
sine ∡C 	                            B) fraction 12 over 35
tangent ∡C 	                     C) fraction 12 over 37

anonymous · Answer

yes i know your question, did you look at my drawing i spent 10 minutes constructing for you?

anonymous · Answer

yes i didnt get it

phi · Answer

you are not trying are you?

anonymous · Answer

i have

anonymous · Answer

what part of adjacent/hypotenuse do you not get? Cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse

anonymous · Answer

what is adjacent to angle C?

anonymous · Answer

from the drawing

anonymous · Answer

there is a large arrow pointing at it with the description adjacent next to it

anonymous · Answer

oh ok so what would it be

anonymous · Answer

adjacent = 35

anonymous · Answer

hypotenuse = 37

anonymous · Answer

so if cosine = adjacent/hypotenuse please tell me you can draw a conclusion from this
