need help with 3 problems >.< i'll post the pic in a bit
29, 33, and 37 are the problems i need help with
draw a triangle
|dw:1371964464916:dw|
okay
apply SOH CAH TOA sin t = opp/hyp cos t= adj/hyp tan t = opp/adj
that i know but how do i figure it out. like is 3/5 is adj?
think of it as a coordinate plane
so no v.v
|dw:1371964928306:dw|
|dw:1371964979685:dw|
so applying it to 29 adj = 3/5 opp = 4/5 you can determine hyp by using pythagorean theorem
i think thats how you solve the problem, im unfamiliar with the terminology used with the problem
what about the sin, cos, tan?
well, you're already given 2 sides of the triangle, you can use Pythagorean theorem to determine the third side of the triangle and you can use SOH CAH TOA to determine sin t cos t tan t
just scroll up a bit, i gave you the equations
can you show me an example?
ex. (3,4) |dw:1371965316918:dw| Pythagorean theorem \[a^2 +b^2 = c^2\] |dw:1371965371682:dw| hyp = 5 |dw:1371965395817:dw| opp = 4 adj = 3 sin t = 4/5 cos t = 3/5 tan t =4/3
