Question

Solve for x. Round your answer to two decimal places.
A right triangle is shown with the hypotenuse labeled x. One angle has a measure of thirty nine degrees, and the opposite leg has a length of nine.

Answer 1

so 90-39=?

Answer 2

51

Answer 3

now you have all of the angles use "SOHCAHTOA"

Answer 4

So I do sin(39)= 9/x ?

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

Ok is the answer 5.66?

Answer 7

yes sir

Answer 8

9sin39=5.66

Answer 9

m'am* :)

Answer 10

now you have hyp solve for the adjacent

Answer 11

sorry mam

Answer 12

its Tan

Answer 13

wait notice that hyp is smaller than tan

Answer 14

Oh well for the problem it only asks to solve for x. But if I had to solve for the adjacent I would use tan(51)= adjacent side/9 ?

Answer 15

Oh yeah... Why is the hypotenuse shorter than 9?

Answer 16

always check that hypotenuse should be bigger than the rest

Answer 17

Shouldn't the hypotenuse be the longest side?

Answer 18

yup

Answer 19

So is it wrong?

Answer 20

let me recheck

Answer 21

Ok

Answer 22

Oh I think it's 14.30

Answer 23

side b=11.11
side c-14.3

Answer 24

Ok cool thanks so much!
