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

hartnn (hartnn):

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!!! ^_^

hartnn (hartnn):

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 = ... ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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 ^_^

hartnn (hartnn):

i am just a student like u:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol how old are you ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
