@radar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

who opens .docx anymore?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can open do docx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you need to use trigonometric functions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got cos 50=x/90 right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i got 57.9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The cosine of a 50° angle is 57.9 right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which part the first blank is asking which function to use to find the height

OpenStudy (anonymous):

part 1 i think its cosine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if yo are using cos(50)=x/90

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes that's what i did

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and i got 57.9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then the next part is asking for the reverse how do you find the cosine function with the two sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

57.8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then input the cosine of 50 in your calculator for the next blank

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its asking this this represents the value created when length _____ is divided by ______ feet.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the angle is the value when you divide the sides accordingly

OpenStudy (radar):

Cos 50 degrees is 0.6428

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The cosine of a 50° angle is 57.9 is this right for the second part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

all the trig functions are is a relationship between the lengths of sides if you divide two known sides and take that data it represents and angle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so like radar has said the cosine of 50 is .6428 so the sides divided are also .6428

OpenStudy (anonymous):

57.8 is the height of the tower because you multiplied the hypotenuse by the cosine to find x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it will be .6428x.6428

OpenStudy (radar):

Cos is the adjacent side divided by the hypotenusel.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what happens if you divide the side x by the side of 90

OpenStudy (anonymous):

adjacemt side is x right and hypotenusel is 90

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 57.8 divided by 90

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's what i got

OpenStudy (radar):

\[\cos 50^{0}=x/90 ft\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you get .6422

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 57.9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

roughly the same as the cosine for 50 degrees

OpenStudy (radar):

\[x=.6428 \times90\]
