opposite/adjacent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

write down what the opposite side of B is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and write down what the adjacent side is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would oppsite be c?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then just do opposite/adjacent of B and compare that to 3/4. are they the same?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by opposite they mean a side not an angle. the opposite side would be line segment CA

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so its 8 now what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now find the adjacent side

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats that mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the side that is touching angle B and it also can't be the hypotenuse

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would that be ab

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, that's right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so now that we know that what do we do next?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now you write (length of CA)/(length of BA) compare to 3/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 8 n 6 how do i comepare that to 3/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what can you divide both 8 and 6 by.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by 2. therefore its 4/3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its true?
