Find the lengths of the missing sides in the triangle. Write your answers as integers or as decimals rounded to the nearest tenth.
A. x = 5.7, y = 6.9
B. x = 6.9, y = 5.7
C. x = 11.3, y = 8
D. x = 8, y = 11.3

same as previous question.
just numbers are different
first try it by yourself
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ughh okay .. x is hypotenuse , y is adjacent and 8 is opposite
OpenStudy (anonymous):
or 8 is adjacent and y is opposite? @hartnn
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@shubhamsrg Yay! you're here!!! ^_^

x is hypotenuse , y is adjacent and 8 is opposite
is correct
hartnn (hartnn):
now fin
sin 45 =...
cos 45 =..
OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):
Do you know the property that sides opposite to equal angles are equal ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sin 45 = .707
cos 45= .707
hartnn (hartnn):
yes
and sin 45 = opposite side/ hypotenuse = ... ?

sin 45 = 8/x
hartnn (hartnn):
correct
so x = ... ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x=5.656 ?
hartnn (hartnn):
x= 8/.707 = ... ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Ohh sorry i multiplied

x=11.315
hartnn (hartnn):
yes
to find y
you can use
tan 45 too
its easier
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1?
hartnn (hartnn):
yes!
and tan 45 = opp. side/ adjacent side = ...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
tan 45 = 8/y

y=8?
hartnn (hartnn):
correct!
hartnn (hartnn):
also remember that legs of a 45 , 45 triangle are equal :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thanks again lol you should be a teacher
hartnn (hartnn):
welcome ^_^
