do you understand trigonometry?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no ):

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

well, in a triangle where a angle other than the right angle is theta \[\sin \theta = \frac{ opposite }{ hypotenuse }\] \[\cos \theta = \frac{ adjacent }{ hypotenuse }\] \[\tan \theta = \frac{ opposite }{ adjacent }\] |dw:1382999081270:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its 13.1?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 51.1

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

yep :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

supplementary angles make a line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think its either a or b

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

does this make a line? |dw:1383000656603:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

no, a line would be this |dw:1383000813382:dw|
