Length AB in term of x is = 80-2x.cos60
= 80-x
h in terms of x is = x.sin60
OpenStudy (anonymous):
b and c I should be able to figure out but can u explain
Length AB in term of x is = 80-2x.cos60
= 80-x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok you know the lenght of sheet is 80 cm
OpenStudy (anonymous):
don't worry, I figured it out.

ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but shouldn't it be 2(x times cos60)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it should be because i m considering both triangle sides
OpenStudy (anonymous):
kk, and the answer is 80 - 2x from the textbook.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
xcos60+xcos60 = x/2+x/2 = x

=2x not x I believe.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
this is the combine lenght of both the triangle's sides
now subtracting it from 80 should result in 80-x not in 80-2x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait, how does xcos60=x/2 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
cos60 = 1/2
xcos60= x/2
