Question

PLEASE HELP ME SOLVING RIGHT TRIANGLE. fIND THE MEASUREMENT OF ANGLE B AND THE MEASUREMENT OF ADJACENT AND HYPOTHENUS

Answer 1

in a right triangle, the sum of the two angles included except that of C is equal to 90 degrees... that angle C which is 90 degrees is the right angle of a right triangle...

Answer 2

so the angle B is 62.5° right??

Answer 3

knowing the 3 basic trigonometric functions commonly named as SOH-CAH-TOA where...
SOH = Sine of the angle = Opposite side of the angle/Hypotenuse of the Right triangle
CAH = Cosine of the angle = Adjacent side of the angle/Hypotenuse...
TOA = Tangent of the angle = Opposite side/Adjacent side

Answer 4

yes you're correct about angle B...

Answer 5

ok.. then, what the next step to get the measurement of leng of b and c??

Answer 6

what's the next step, i mean

Answer 7

the given side is opposite on one of the angle... you can solve the adjacent side to the angle... what trig function do you think is applicable?

Answer 8

TAN?? IS THAT RIGHT?

Answer 9

yup you can use that...

Answer 10

TANGEANT= O/A..

Answer 11

ok... go on

Answer 12

is there any possible trig function aside from tangeant??

Answer 13

you can use SINE to solve the hypotenuse c... using the given angle A

Answer 14

for the COSINE to solve hypotenuse c also, but you have to use the other angle B

Answer 15

ok . wait i'll try tan and sin..

Answer 16

after solving the adjacent side (solve thru' TAN)... you can solve hypotenuse c using the Pythagorean Theorem:
c = sqrt (a^2 + b^2)

Answer 17

Pythagorean Theorem is always applicable at the sides of right triangles....

Answer 18

b=18.96 .... is that right??

Answer 19

yes you're correct!... you're getting it right... :)

Answer 20

then when i try to solve in sin,, the c=4.56 .. right or wrong?

Answer 21

what angle did you use?

Answer 22

sinA= SIN (27.5)

Answer 23

sin (27.5) = 9.87/h

Answer 24

so h = 9.87/sin(27.5), what will you get?

Answer 25

c=4.56 po.

Answer 26

are you sure? try to look at it again...

Answer 27

ah! i mean 21.36 po. tama po?

Answer 28

yes, that's the correct one... you got it all correct now... congratulations!.... :-)

Answer 29

thank you po very much! God bless po.
