Help please (image attached)

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

correct on both :)

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

correct again!

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

Ur prob said "Round values to the nearest whole number."

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

Nothing missing that i can...u just need to evaluate the ans n round them to the nearest whole number like u did w/ a n b

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

Nothing missing that I can SEE O^O

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

how u calculate the first two? u use a calculator or trig table right?

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

yup hehehehe i think u should have more confidence in ur own calc :)

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

four for four :) hey u are too fast...let me check on f now....

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

F=53*___ u missed the ___ part

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

calculate for ur ans!

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

check ur calculator or trig table....what are u using anyway??

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

28 is right :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Whew!

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

what did u go wrong before?

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

>=< DOH dats u got killed in tests lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Right >< Now for E, can you help me get the setup to calculate?

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

DIY :P i will let u know if its wrong hehe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just don't know what trig rule to use, tan?

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

what side u know n what side u need to calc?

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

u know the angle 58....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes 58 and then we only have 53 to work with

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

dats all u need to know...trust me!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait would that be 34? lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is adj/opp right?

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

thats one way to do it since u already know f....or u can use opp/hypo which is which trig funct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that would be sin

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

set up ur eqn n solve for e then :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright I have no idea what I'm doing lol I'm getting like .241

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

nope...just write out the eqn n u will see if u have set it up right!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

58 sin/ 53?

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

sin/53? is that a typo?

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

sorry im doing a lil research here so im popping in n out but we are almost done :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I told ya I'm lost >.< I don't know how to set this up lol, I did the others fine but idk with this

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

58*sin53......what so difficult about this? tell me plz?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Idk nothing is hard! As you can see I did the others just fine I just kept rearranging the order of op in this one idk why :c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it's 46 lol

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

hmmm check ur calc again plz?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah I got 46 again? :O

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

DOH....read ur question again - this time ME goofed...sorry!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ha! That's alright I was losing my mind thinking how could I be wrong again! :p

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

e=53*sin58.....sorry!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

44!

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

see it happens to the best of us....i made stupid mistakes ALL the time too! lol so do u understand everything u have calculated so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep I do! I have 3 more to do so we'll see how that goes

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

oh wait e should round up to 45

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh that's true actually

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

u may want to restart a new post....i need to wrap up my research here. sorry!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh man I wonder if I made that mistake on any more of them forgetting to round up :o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nope seems like that was the only one, thank you!

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

u got more? :)

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

same thing :P set up the dqn....since u know the opposite n adjacent side, u should set up for which trig fn?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tan correct

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

yup yup so tanx=??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3tan*4?

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

no this time u are calculating for an angle....the ones we did before were all for lengths. so it will be tanX=.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry using google left my textbook at school

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

hahaha okok so google is any help? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tanx= 3/4?

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

yup :) so u can solve for x by inv-tan 3/4....google should help or u can use www.wolframalpha.com

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm getting like .0139 lol what

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

try again plz :)

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

tan^-1 (0.75)

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

do u have a scientific calculator?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep, never inputted ^-1 before looking for that lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

only have options for x^2 x^3 x^y hmmm

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

look for inv button?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep no dice, on that website you linked me though it says 36.87

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

thats the right answer :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 37

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

btw dats probably the BEST web site for math learner on the internet!! definitely book-mark it!

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

correct :) wait but does this Q also said round to nearest whole number?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep it does

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

37 it is then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alrighty so to find Y we basically do the same thing that was just done correct? tan?

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

yup yup y n z both....just need to pick different trig functions for each :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think I'm just gonna leave those blank, it's 11:10 and my calc isn't working so don't want to run you in circles, thanks for your willingness to help me today, means a lot

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

Wait wait...write this down for tmw okay? for y, use sin function and z use cos

OpenStudy (superdavesuper):

u should be able to figure it out after u get some beauty sleep! ;)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you means a lot, take care
