Find the value of x and y
|dw:1387309299856:dw|
HELP!!!
Let a^2+b^2=c^2.....
a triangle must equal 180 degrees!....
How do you know you've got a right angle?
Britclev...is there a right angle in the picture
but for this you will be using sin, cos, and tan!!!!!.
no right angle
you can remember these through an acronym.....:"SOHCAHTOA"
SOH... Sine: sin(θ) = Opposite / Hypotenuse ...CAH... Cosine: cos(θ) = Adjacent / Hypotenuse ...TOA Tangent: tan(θ) = Opposite / Adjacent
I cant figure out an exaxt answer for the life of me

ok
Is KM a diameter?
you can create a right triangle
Without any other information, the most you can say about x and y is x + y = 140
|dw:1387268452231:dw|
y = 180 - 40 - x, 140-y x = 180 - 40 -y, 140-x
you dont know that it is a right triangle therefore Pythagorean is out. you cannot solve for any lengths, not enough info provided. y =140-x x=140-y
BRITCLEV can you post a quick screenshot of the picture?
Did they (by any chance) mention that KM is a *diameter* ?
