Could I find the two missing angle measures if I know some of the side lengths of a right triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How would I do this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you give an example of triangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is the problem, it doesn't give an example. Just that question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can use trigonometric ratios to find the angles...

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

^i think that will only work on right triangles....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya but he said it was a right triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is a right triangle.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

good point

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u know the trigonometric ratios? sine cosine tangent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes a little

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's what you can use

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one angle is 80 degrees and 2 you don't know it equals 180 degrees solve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^that doesn't make sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im glad you said that because I was really getting confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So how much do you know about the trig ratios?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know a little. Math is really not my best subject and I am taking it online for grade forgiveness now.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know how to use them?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A little

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you use them at all?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So use them as you answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
