anonymous · Answer

use sohcahtoa

anonymous · Answer

Is the 10 an angle measure?

anonymous · Answer

no, it's the length of the base of the triangle

anonymous · Answer

Well then this is just a A^2+B^2=C^2?

anonymous · Answer

on my paper 10 has a little cirlce on top.. so its a degree.. what ever the flutter that is :/

anonymous · Answer

sry ur right lol

anonymous · Answer

Okay. So do what HawkCrimson said. SOH-CAH-TOA

anonymous · Answer

"flutter" lol.. thanks openstudy.. but yeah.. i just need the answer really.. so you dont have to show me how you solve it

anonymous · Answer

assuming that the 10 degrees is outside of teh triangle then the interior angle will be 80 degrees

i just know basics.. like they are what you put into the calculator when u need to find certain measurements for triangles.. but i forgot really which is for what.. so i guess im the tons of people who dont :/

anonymous · Answer

SOH- sin opposite/hypotenuse
CAH- cos adjacent/hypotenuse
TOA- tan opposite/adjecent

anonymous · Answer
