in triangle ABC , angle B is a right angle. AB+30 and Sec A=5/3. find each value in fraction and decimal form
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sin A
OpenStudy (anonymous):
someone??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sin a =4/5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok but how did you get that

here sec a=hyppoteneus/adjacent so hp=5 and adj=3 so opposite side =4 by pythagorus thm so sin a=opposite/hypp=4/5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its sin A
OpenStudy (anonymous):
isnt sin opposite/ hypotenuse
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no sinA=opposite/hyp
OpenStudy (chrisplusian):
you said sec A=5/3 so the sec=hyp/adj. the hyp=5 and the side adjacent to angle A would be adjacent. Through pythagorean theorem you can find the other value because it is a right triangle

in the pathagorema theorem what values go with what
is a=5 and c=3?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@chrisplusian @aditya96
OpenStudy (anonymous):
b=4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i know that but i need to show work so what goes where
OpenStudy (anonymous):
does a=3 c=5?

(hypo)^2=(side 1)^2 +(side 2)^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@chrisplusian can you help me with one more
OpenStudy (anonymous):
csc C
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sam thing but with these values
OpenStudy (chrisplusian):
The trick with pythagorean theorem is that the "c" is always the hypotenuse

ohh
OpenStudy (chrisplusian):
Csc=Hyp/opp so the opposite side from angle C is =3 and the hypotenuse is =5. so csc C =5/3
OpenStudy (chrisplusian):
Hope that helps @lala2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes it does alot! thanks soo much!
OpenStudy (chrisplusian):
no problem I have to do some studying now so good luck
