In triangle ABC, C is a right angle.Side c= 9 and side a =5. What are the measures of the remaining side and angles, in degrees, of the triangle?
|dw:1399524486053:dw|
I know that. Can you please help me find the rest of the side, angles?
Ohh, sorry I forgot to put the "?": It was a question xD. Yes, sure.
it's Okay. so how would i do that?
Let me draw it better: |dw:1399524784890:dw| We can use pythagorean theormen to find b \[c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}\] So b would be: \[b=\sqrt{c^{2}-a^{2}}\]
b=7.5 ?
so side B =7.5 now how do i find the angle of ?
Let's focus on B first: |dw:1399525421385:dw|
We know that\[\cos \theta=\frac{ side a }{ hypotenuse }\] We have side a and hypotenuse
Didn't we just do B ? Or is there more to it or you're doing the angle of it?
Yes
yes to which question? lol
Just get B
\[B=\cos^{-1}(\frac{ 5 }{ 9 })\]
Using the equation you showed me i got 7.5 ? correct or not?
Ohh, but that was b, the side, not the angle
Okay so we found the side. This one you're showing now is the angle?
Yes
\[b= \cos ^-1 \left(\begin{matrix}5 \\ 9\end{matrix}\right) = .98\]
Put your calc in deg
Not in radians
56 degrees?
Yes.
whoop whoop now angle A.
And of the angle A: The sum of all inner angles of the triangle is 180. So we have 90 and 56. A=180-(90+56)=34
So Side B = 7.5 Angle B = 56 degrees Angle A = 34 degrees Correct?
Yes
Do you need something else?
Thank you soooooooooooooooooo much! I haven't had a great helper in a loong time on here!
Can you check my answer on another question?
Ok
what values for Ɵ ( 0 ≤ Ɵ ≤ 2 π) satisfy the equation? Tan^2 = - 3/2 sec Ɵ A. pi/2, 5/pi B. 3pi/4, 5pi/4 C. pi/3, 5pi/3 << D. 2pi/3, 4pi/3
Sorry if I don't explain myself very well, it is because I'm improving my english. But I will do my best
No you explain very well. you're brilliant [:
I just want to know if it's the correct answer.
It is just \[\tan^{2}\]?. There is nothing more right after tan?
tan^2 theta! im sorry.
Wait I believe it's actually A. not B.
I have to get going. I'll submit A. whatever happens happens. Thanks alot for the help.
eeh i was wrong it's D. ;C
Yes, because it does not "undefine" is the right word?
