Question

Find the values of the six trigonometric ratios angle a

Answer 1

First use Pythagorean thm to find the missing side measurement

Answer 2

can you please show me how I would dp that?

Answer 3

Using Pythagorean thm!
It is a matter of pluggin into a equation and then solving
a^2+b^2=c^2
where a and b are legs of a right triangle
and c is the hyp of that triangle

Answer 4

Let's see if you can plug in

Answer 5

(15)^2+b^2 =12^2 ?

Answer 6

c is the hyp

Answer 7

(15)^2+12^2 = c^2?

Answer 8

I guess you don't know what an hypotenuse is?

Answer 9

This is called a right triangle because of the right angle.
A right angle in a triangle is an angle of measurement 90 degrees.
The side opposite to the right angle is the hyp (the hyp is long side in a triangle)

Answer 10

The other two line segments in the drawing are called legs.

Answer 11

Oh so c^2 =15^2
