I could use your help :) @IMStuck
|dw:1407289042744:dw| I would solve for the hypotenuse of the large triangle first then use the law of sines to determine all the angles
|dw:1407289295834:dw| Once you have all the angles you can solve for (?)
tan= opp./adj. 5/16= 0.3125
sin= opp./hyp. 5/0.3125= 16
That works to
sin? tan? :/
@IMStuck I'm actually stuck, lol..
When I get stuck, I just stare at the thing and it just magically solves itself :)
^Haha, thanks Disney..
Or you could just think happy thoughts, say "Oh, you're so awesome, Peter :) ", and then who knows, an answer might just magically appear. Who needs this sin tan stuff anyway? :D
You will use similar triangles here.
But in all seriousness, trig isn't actually needed... all that you do need is a healthy knowledge of similar triangles :D
Speaking of which... what do you know about similar triangles, @lilia222 ? ^^
I see now making it more difficult than it has to be.
