OpenStudy (anonymous):
yea a little bit
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
good :)
then its going to be easy
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
look at the big outer triangle
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
its 30-60-90,
hypotenuse = 15

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
so the leg opposite to 30 degrees wud be 15/2
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
and the leg opposite to 60 wud be \(\large \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times 15 \)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
just figure out those two sides.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
15sqrt3/2 right?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
yes, wats that side ?

opposite to 60 so z right?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
Perfect !
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
and x is 15/2 = 7.5
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
so we have now \(x\) and \(z\), what next ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hmmm

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
can u find remaining missing parts ? :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y a and b ?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
yeah, try finding them
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
find y and a first
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
use the value of x=7.5 to find them

how >.<
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
30-60-90 triangle again
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
is time, use the small left side triangle
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
thats a 30-60-90 triangle, with hypotenuse = 7.5
you can find other two sides, y and a
OpenStudy (anonymous):
>.<
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im so confused >.<
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
|dw:1378920519230:dw|
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
First, convince urself that its a 30-60-90 triangle.
the, try finding a & y :)

any progress ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im so lost lol
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
only look at that small left triangle
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
it has hypotenuse = 7.5
so, the side opposite to 30 degrees = a = 7.5/2
side opposite to 60 degrees = y = \(\large \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \times 7.5\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ohhhh so its always a two?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
wat ? :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its always a 2 and a sqrt(3)/2?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
yes, 30-60-90 triangle. always divide by 2, and sqrt(3)/2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ohh
OpenStudy (anonymous):
15sqrt(3)/4

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
yeah, u can find by subracting a from 15 (look at the drawing)
