I was wondering if someone could give me an example that would answer this question? 3. Could I find the two missing angle measures if I know some of the side lengths of a right triangle?
So, given two sides of a right triangle, find the remaining angles? Sounds like trigonometry.
Draw a right triangle. Label all the sides and angles. Give values to two of the sides and use the appropriate trig function to find one of the angles. Just need to remember SOHCAHTOA for this.
no it is geometry. I was wondering if some one could give me an example problem to show me how I can do this.
Trigonometry is a subset of geometry, so it's still valid. Here's all you need to know: |dw:1353797099198:dw| Given any two sides, all other angles and sides can be found.
alright. so i plug my numbers in for the letters, an i should be able to find my answer?
If you know what you're doing, yes. Math is more than just plugging numbers into formulas, you have to think about it.
Thank you, you helped alot
