Question

how would i find the missing sides

Answer 1

Here's one way
the triangle is a 30 60 90 triangle and has sides in the ratio of
1 (opp the 30°)
sqrt(3) (opp the 60°)
2 (opp the 90°)

Answer 2

please explain more

Answer 3

im specificly looking fior x

Answer 4

Here's another way
sin (30°) = x / 15
I think you can solve for x right?

Answer 5

thank you

Answer 6

you are welcome

Answer 7

what about Y

Answer 8

Okay the tan (30°) = x / z
If you solved for x then you'll be able to calculate z

Answer 9

so it is 15/2 or like 7.5 over z
<the 15/2 is over z two>

Answer 10

sin60=y/x

Answer 11

but my teacher wants a square root in their and its just gettin crazy

Answer 12

i got it

Answer 13

thanks four ur help though guys

Answer 14

;)

Answer 15

now i want to find z but how would i set it up, i would like to be self suficent in doing this

Answer 16

similar triangles

Answer 17

i'm a trig fan @UnkleRhaukus :)

Answer 18

then you should know the ratio of sides will be 1,√3, 2

Answer 19

@UnkleRhaukus still not helping...

Answer 21

Sure here's that way
the Pythagorean Theorem
hyp² = side1² + side2²
15² = x² + side2²
side2²= (hyp² - x²)
side2² = (225 -x²)
side2 = Square Root of (225 -x²)

many amounts of hoopla will be poured into your buckets, thanks, a new q will be here shortly
