I urgently have to make study geometry flashcards and i need help with them please Mainly about shapes Please i have my EOC on thursday

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

What can i say about this triangle?

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

@mathstudent55 @Luigi0210 @SithsAndGiggles please

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

@jim_thompson5910 sorry for bothering you plz

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

@iPwnBunnies are you good with this? or its too geometry for you

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

This is the easiest question you've asked so far lol. Solve for x?

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

what do all the sides together have to equal?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

No, it's the sum of the interior angles of a triangle. Don't you know the sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees? Can you solve for x now?

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

Sorry i meant angles cuz obv sides cant do anything here lol and i didnt know if Alwayss

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

Ill solve right now....

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

wait do i use trigonometry? my brain is blank

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

no wait

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

I did 180-(35+25)= 120 is that wrong?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

No, that's correct. ^.^

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Picture not to scale, obviously.

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

so besides solving for x, is there anything i can write down about this triangle?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Idk. No matter the length of the sides, the interior angles always add up to 180 degrees. Use this formula I gave you earlier for the sum of interior angles. 180(n - 2), where 'n' is the number of sides.

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

do i really need to or is it optional since i already solved and got x? Lets just move on to the next one

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

before moving on do you know what type of triangle that was?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Oh, yeah, I think this is a proof too. If all the angles are different, then it's a scalene triangle (all sides are different). If 2 angles are the same, isoceles. (2 sides are equal) All 3 angles are sale, equilateral.

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

Kay now this one

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Don't you know trigonometric functions, and the special right triangle, 30-60-90 triangle?

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

i know now that you remind me that the triangle is a 30-60-90 but for the sides its missing both x and y and idk

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Yeah, you have to use trignometric function with the given angle, 30 degrees. Do you know which ones we need for this one?

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

Nope

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

.-. Have you not learned about sine, cosine, and tangent?

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

But when 2 sides are missing im clueless

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

It doesn't matter. We just use the trig functions. That's what you would call a trap. c; Ok, so. Do you know the definition of sine of an angle when it comes to triangles?

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

No i dont know

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

.-. Elisa, why you making my volunteering hard. >_> Your EOC is tomorrow and you don't know about sine and stuff. \[\sin(x) = \frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\]

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

http://www.sosmath.com/trig/Trig2/trig2/trig2.html Look at the part with the triangles in it. Around the middle.

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

Actually its on Thursday and i know i have a very low chance of passing

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

And i was confused thinking you wanted a more complex definition

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

but idk how to apply that to this specific problem

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

@iPwnBunnies

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

sine of an angle = length of opposite side/length of hypotenuse. \[\sin(30) = \frac{29}{x}\] \[x = \frac{29}{\sin 30}\] Do you know what the sin of 30 is? It's a special angle, so you shold know it. It's easy to remember.

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

hopefully your on OS when i get home bye :/

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

i got 58

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

@iPwnBunnies

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Mhmm. Good to remember. sin(30) = cos(60) = 1/2

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

i will try 2 remember that

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

For side 'y' the remaining leg. We use tangent. \[\tan(x) = \frac{opposite}{adjacent}\]

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

\[\tan(30) = \frac{29}{y}\]

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

50.22947342

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Mhmm. tan(30) = 1/sqt(3) = sqrt(3)/3

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

kay now help me with another one plz

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Use Pythagorean Theorem to figure out what the length of that rectangle is, breh. Then area is length*height, or whichever two dimensions it gives.

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

It's a rectangle, with a diagonal going through it. So it forms two right triangles.

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

Okay i did pythagorean th. and then i used my answer in the area and i got 240

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

what about this one?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Yaaassss, gurl, yaasss.

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

Lmao thaaanksss and help me with the triangle ^

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

I'm drawing blanks. Y. ;-;

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

idk

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

@iPwnBunnies

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

are you giving up? do i have to wait for another good source of help to come online?

OpenStudy (ipwnbunnies):

Has there been another source? -.- I've helped you with maybe 20 questions in the last 3 days.

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

yes you are great but there are other ppl i look for depending whos online and whos not cuz if i sit here waiting ill fail for sure

OpenStudy (elisaneedshelp):

hello? omg plz help me
