Question

Need Geometry help !!!!!

Answer 1

Ask away.

Answer 2

How do i solve problems like this one

Answer 3

Just one moment, ok? I need to make sure I remember correctly how to do this.

Answer 4

okay take your time :D

Answer 5

Alright, I believe I remember how to do this correctly, but correct me (anyone) if I'm wrong. I'd say to set the angle given over the side length given. With this, you can set up two of these with only one thing missing. Can you think of the problem so far? I'll make a picture to show ya.

Answer 6

now, solve for x

Answer 7

Ohh i just have to set up a proportion' easy lol

Answer 8

yep. So what'd you get as your answer?

Answer 9

let me work it out

Answer 10

sure, take your time. :P

Answer 11

wait I got 5.83 and that is not one of the choices i was given

Answer 12

what are your choices?

Answer 13

26.2
10.5
8.6
12.3

Answer 14

Alright, so with this one you'll need to use your trig functions. Do you know how to use sine, cosine, and tangent?

Answer 15

i dont remember, can you explain really quick ?

Answer 16

Certainty! Have you ever heard of chief Sohcahtoa?

Answer 17

nope

Answer 18

Well, then this is your lucky day! The chief's name is a way of remembering the trig functions, as follows: "S=o/h", or: Sine=opposite/hypotenuse. Also, "C=a/h", or: Cosine=adjacent/hypotenuse. And finally, "T=o/a", or: Tangent = opposite/adjacent. Thus, we get SohCahToa, or chief Sohcahtoa.

Answer 19

So, what you need to do is look at your problem and find where, when a trig function (Sin, cos, or tan) is put with the given angle, it can be solved with the two pieces of info you have/need. By that I mean: what is the side (with length "x") in relation to the given angel of 35 degrees? Your choices are opposite, adjacent, or hypotenuse.

Answer 20

hypotenuse

Answer 21

I'm afraid not. The hypotenuse is ALWAYS the longest side of a 90 degree triangle.

Answer 22

Ohh now im confused lol

Answer 23

Or, it could be
