OpenStudy (anonymous):

find the missing side. round to the nearest tenth.

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Which missing side?, there's two..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

theres suppose to be an X under the 22 degrees.. sorry :l and that's the side you have to find ill re draw it

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

You could use: \[\LARGE cos(22)=\frac{x}{12}\] Multiply by 12 \[\LARGE 12(cos(22))=x\] I think that's how you do it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeaaa thing is idk what cos is ...

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

cos22? Or just what cos is suppose to find?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cos22, what is it suppose to find.. cos in general

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Well \[\LARGE cosx=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

... idk this stuff bro lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

11.1?

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Oh, well stuff like cos(22) you're suppose to plug into a calculator, not solve mentally.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ik that part

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Well, when you multiply 12 and cos(22), that's your answer..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it should look like 12(cos22)=x?

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

If you're looking for exact answers, yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

The approx. for the missing side is 11.13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my other triangle ad 19 for one side and 30* for an angle my missing side came out to be \[\frac{ 19\sqrt{3} }{ 2}\]
