do you understand trigonometry?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no ):
jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):
well, in a triangle where a angle other than the right angle is theta
\[\sin \theta = \frac{ opposite }{ hypotenuse }\]
\[\cos \theta = \frac{ adjacent }{ hypotenuse }\]
\[\tan \theta = \frac{ opposite }{ adjacent }\]

you would want
tan() = (10/44)
if you plug in inverse tan (10/44) into your calculator you would get 12.80426607

damn ok I got it wrong ): you did it right tho what about this one

it can be separated into two triangles
77/2 = 38.5
and one of the triangles would be
|dw:1382999545613:dw|
find the hypotenuse using a trig function...
which trig function includes the adjacent and hypotenuse?
jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):
you would plug in 40/(cos(38.5)) into your calculator

help again please haha
jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):
complementary means adds up to 90
supplementary means adds up to 180
what two angles in the options would be true then?
