Look at the figure. Based on the figure, which equation is true? 2 sin x° = tan y° 2 sin x° = cos y° 2 tan x° = sin y° 2 cos x° = tan y°

Anyone?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yrelhan4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can anyone explain

OpenStudy (yrelhan4):

You just need to find the values of sinx and cosy, and see which option satisfies. remember... sinx=perpendicular/hypotenuse and cosx=base/hypotenuse

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What does 2 sine mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In the answer choices

OpenStudy (yrelhan4):

2*sinx.. they are multiplying 2 with sinx..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No B?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

what is cos(x)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Anyone?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is no cos of x

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

x is an angle cos(x) = adjacent/hypotenuse

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh I think its D FINAL ANSWER

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Locked it in

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

why do you think that?

OpenStudy (yrelhan4):

nah it isnt A.. it is D..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its the only one where you actually have the points to

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

the fact that you said there is no cos(x) tells me that you have no idea how to answer this. so why D

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

it is D, but that's not a good reason

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I didn't look at D

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

cos(x) = 1/2 tan(x) = 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I thought they were all the same points

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

2cos(x) = 2(1/2) = 1 = tan(x)

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

you need to understand why cos(x) = 1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I do

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because its 5/10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and it simplifies to 1/2

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

ok, earlier you said there is no cos(x) ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know I have bad eyesight and I am extremely tired

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3:30 am here
