Determine the measure of angle B to the nearest degree

OpenStudy (mathisfun13):

OpenStudy (mathisfun13):

i know its 9/10.3 sun but idk how u put that in a calc

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you would type in arcsin(9/10.3)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that will give you the value of B

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

evaluate that and tell me what you get

OpenStudy (mathisfun13):

arcsin? i just see sin

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

arcsin is another way to say \(\large sin^{-1}\)

OpenStudy (mathisfun13):

lol oh okayy

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

make sure you're in degree mode (not radian mode)

OpenStudy (mathisfun13):

0.87378640776699

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you take the arcsine of that result

OpenStudy (mathisfun13):

i thought i did

OpenStudy (mathisfun13):

so after i get that i hit sin?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

not sine, arcsine

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

or \(\large sin^{-1}\)

OpenStudy (mathisfun13):

is 1/x the same thing?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no

OpenStudy (mathisfun13):

ooh wait i got it i have to hit the inverse then sin

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes

OpenStudy (mathisfun13):

okay i got the same answer as before

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

arcsin(9/10.3) = arcsin(0.873786407767) = 60.901671164753 that's what you should have gotten

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

round that to the nearest degree to get 61 degrees
