I need help in geometry. @jim_thompson5910 @HawkCrimson @Mertsj
ok what's the question
1 second let me get it all in pictures because its kinda big..
i love that i was classified with @jim_thompson5910 and @Mertsj when im not even close to their level :D
ok this is the first part: http://oi50.tinypic.com/33wb05z.jpg this is the second: http://oi47.tinypic.com/v6k9xi.jpg
you don't give yourself enough credit
thx :D
i asked someone for help and they sent me your name guys, i hope you dont mind
where are you stuck?
i have no idea how to do it? like for the questions that i have to make up
well if you know 2 sides of a right triangle, how can you find the third?
brb
you add them and substract that from 180
you're probably thinking angles
but no you would use the pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
plug in the known values and solve for the third unknown value
A^2 + B^2 = C^2
yes
so thats the answer for that part?
well you could go into a bit more detail if you wanted to, but that's the basic answer
am good with that, ill use that, how about for the second one now?
for #2, the answer is yes, but only if you know basic trig (like sine, cosine, etc)
if you know how all that works, then you can if not, then you won't have the proper tools
what would i have to use for finding the hypothenuse?
SohCahToa. so u can use sin or Cos
so how do i explain the answer for the second one in the first picture?
how do i put it into words?
well for instance, if you know one angle and the opposite side, then you can use the sine function to find the hypotenuse since sine = opposite/hypotenuse
|dw:1365640504543:dw|
u can use that as an example
ok so it would be sine = 5/39
no
oh thats for the hypothenuse my bad
sin39 = 5/h
yep :) cool so u do know it
a little =/
|dw:1365640733618:dw| how do u solve for x?
is it the same way you put it before? like changing the numbers, would it be sin 42 = 15h?
15/h
think about it, sin( taeta ) = opp/ hyp wat is the side opp the angle and wat is the hypotenus?
am still lost, this is the last assigment in this section, can u tell me how to do the two questions remaining please? :( its 3 nd 4
sry os is being stupid
ill give u a hint since u seem smart enough :) Sin isnt ur only choice, u can also use Cos and Tan
and ok ill just help with 3 and 4 then, moving on
u there @intronic ?
yes sorry am here
