Question

Find x and y in simplest radical form.


x = 5√3; y = 10

x = 5√3; y = 5

x = 10√3; y = 5

x = 10√3; y = 10

Answer 3

You can use sin(of an angel ) or cosine formula.

Answer 4

how do i do that?

Answer 5

im not very good at math

Answer 6

Ok sorry, use tan 30 = p/b

Answer 7

hmmm....ugh im lost Im soooo sorry i just dont know what im supposed to do next

Answer 8

tan 30 = \[\sqrt{3}\]/ 3

Answer 9

so does that equal 10?

Answer 10

\[\frac{ 5 }{x ? }\] = \[\frac{ \sqrt{3} }{ ?3 }\]

Answer 11

so x = \[5\sqrt{3}\]

Answer 12

how do you solve that?

Answer 13

do you know this thing?
tan@ = p/b ?

Answer 14

no :(

Answer 15

any idea about trigonometric functions?

Answer 16

no, i dont think ive learned that yet

Answer 17

Have you learned about pythagoras theorem?

Answer 18

yes

Answer 19

without using trigonometric function you can't solve this question.
but using pythagoras theorem you can chose the right option from the given four options.

Answer 20

just use that theorem and put the values of x and y . After it you will get the right ans.

Answer 21

im being totally honest, i dont know what to do, can you walk me through

Answer 22

sure

Answer 23

thank you! ;)

Answer 24

I don't understand the drawing
is that a 90 degree angle?

Answer 25

yes

Answer 26

according to your figure (square of) 5 + (square of) x = (square of ) y .
is that clear?

Answer 27

do you need to learn the vocabulary first before starting out with any solution?
I think it will serve you a great deal in the future

that is when to use
sine, cosine and tangent

Answer 28

ok

Answer 29

many people jump into solutions without considering what you already know or do not yet know.

Answer 30

ok ill keep that in mind :)

Answer 31

let us follow a certain theme here okay?
let us consider the "angle of reference," that is which angle are we looking at and other parts associated with it.

Answer 32

ok
