Have u learned  pythagorean theorem?

anonymous · Answer

Yes but I'm kind of confused on how to solve this one...

anonymous · Answer

There is a problem in the question for finding the length of c u should know both the sides of the triangle but there is 1 side given and the other is angle

anonymous · Answer

I still don't understand. ): Such a frustrating problem.

anonymous · Answer

Wait....

ipwnbunnies · Answer

Use tangent, not pyth thm.

anonymous · Answer

@iPwnBunnies Would the answer be 7?

anonymous · Answer

How tangent?

ipwnbunnies · Answer

No, almost. 
tan(x) = opposite/adjacent

ipwnbunnies · Answer

In terms of your question: tan(35 degrees) = c/5

anonymous · Answer

14.2?

ipwnbunnies · Answer

No, tan(35) = c/5
Solve for c, make sure you use the right function (TAN) and the right numbers. Also make sure your calculator is in degrees mode, not radians mode.

anonymous · Answer

Oh now i get ...... 
So it'll ne like
tan(x) = c/5
5(tan)(35) =c
So the answer will be 175?

anonymous · Answer

Be*

ipwnbunnies · Answer

Nooo, that's too big of a side.
c = TAN(35 degrees) * 5

anonymous · Answer

But that is what I'm getting

ipwnbunnies · Answer

Hmm, tan(35) = 0.7
c = 0.7 * 5 = 3.5

ipwnbunnies · Answer

Don't know what you're doing wrong lol.

anonymous · Answer

Opps my calculator was not set up in d my bad  now im getting that answer well actually 3.5010 and after rounding of 3.5

ipwnbunnies · Answer

Alright. Are you there @wishingdust

anonymous · Answer

So its  
tan(35) =c/5
(5)(tan)(35) =c
c=3.5 
Right???

ipwnbunnies · Answer

Right.

ipwnbunnies · Answer

Picture not to scale lol.

anonymous · Answer

Right lol
