Question

A right triangle’s legs are 3 and 4 meters long. What is the measure of the angle adjacent to the 4-meter leg to the nearest tenth of a degree?

Answer 1

* 35.9
*36
*36.9
*37.5

Answer 2

ok

so there is a right triangle what you know from the text of this your exercise

yes ?

Answer 3

do you know the pythagorean numbers ?

Answer 4

what is the theorem of Pythagoras ?

Answer 5

yes there is a right angle. but that is the only thing about this that i understand

Answer 6

so than you dont know the theorem of Pythagoras ?

Answer 7

are you here ?

Answer 8

so the theorem of Pythagora say that in case of a right triangle the square of hypothenuse is equal with the sum of the square of the shortly sides

let a and b the shortly sides and c is the hypothenuse
so than there is

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

ok ?

Answer 9

yeah i get that part.

Answer 10

25?

Answer 11

25 is the square of x

but you need calculi the x

Answer 12

3+4=7?

Answer 13

no check it above how i have wrote there the Pythagorean theorem

Answer 14

how do i figure A?

Answer 15

x^2 = a^2 + b^2

Answer 16

x^2 = 3^2 +4^2

Answer 17

x^2 = 9+16 =25

x^2 =25

Answer 18

\[3^{2}+4^{2}=25\]

Answer 19

so than x = ?

Answer 20

12.5?

Answer 21

x^2 = 25

x = sqrt25 = ?

Answer 22

how many is sqrt25 ?

Answer 23

5

Answer 24

yes right

Answer 25

but what is the measure of the angle adjacent to the 4-meter leg to the nearest tenth of a degree

Answer 26

so this will be angle C on my draw

yes ?

Answer 27

ok

Answer 28

do you know how many will be sin C = ?

what is the sinus of an angle ?

Answer 29

sorry this was wrong

so the sinus of an angle is opposite side divide hypothenuse

can you rewrite and calculi it using these values of sides ?

Answer 30

sin C = 3/5

Answer 31

sin C = 0,6

Answer 32

you lost me

Answer 33

why ?

Answer 34

i am lost on sin cas and tan

Answer 35

than you need learning again some , trigonometry from your math book

yes ?
