OpenStudy (anonymous):

answers to the bottom –70.3 12.4 11.1 6.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answers to the top 3.7 11.5 3.3 4.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok. so which trigonometric ratio would mean the ratio of \[\frac{ 9 }{ x }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use sine theorem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

note sin(90)=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait what lol sorry guys im not that great at this :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Missaa143 at least you are aware that there is something called sin x, cos x etc etc etc ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, let's consider the first one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use pythogorean theorem to find hypothenuse (the longest side of right triangle)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hypothenuse^2=5^2+x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hypothenuse/sin(90)=x/sin(42)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Missaa143 so you know which side divided by which side is cos of any angle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay gotcha!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or you can go directly, x/sin(42)=5/sin(90-42)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7/30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

= 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u can also use Tan of 42 = x / 5.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

true! ^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ill say the first one is 3.3 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ x }{ \sin(42) }=\frac{ 5 }{ \sin48 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it will be 4.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ooooo okay i get it!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in 2nd one you have hypotenuse = x, and base = 9. So which trig. ratio means base/hypotenuse?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its D ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it would be easier if you use tan(42)=x/5 => x=5tan(42)
