Can someone please check my work? (see below)
not done...
\[36^2+24^2=1872\] hypotenuse = \[\sqrt{1872}\]
still not done
SOHCAHTOA !
\[\sin(A)=\frac{24}{\sqrt{1872}};\cos(A)=\frac{36}{\sqrt{1872}};\tan(A)=\frac{24}{36}\] \[\sin(A)=\frac{24\sqrt{1872}}{1872}; \cos(A)=\frac{36\sqrt{1872}}{1872}; \tan(A)=\frac{2}{3}\]
still not done...
AB = 43.267
\[\sin(A)=\frac{24\sqrt{144(13)}}{144(13)};\sin(A)=\frac{36\sqrt{144(13)}}{144(13)};\] \[\sin(A)=\frac{24(12)\sqrt{13}}{144(13)};\cos(A)=\frac{36(12)\sqrt{13}}{144(13)}\]
still not done
\[\sin(A) = \frac{288\sqrt{13}}{144(13)};\;cos(A) = \frac{432\sqrt{13}}{144(13)}\] \[\sin(A)=\frac{2\sqrt{13}}{13};\cos(A)=\frac{3\sqrt{13}}{13};\]
^^Sorry, up there typo. It should read cos(A) = 36sqrt{144(13)}...etc
Well....does this look right?
@zepdrix
YES
tan A = 2/3 sinA / cosA = 2 sqrt13/13 * 13/ 3sqrt13 = 2/3
So...^ that indicates I'm correct, right?
Gurrrrl :) You should probably simplify your hypotenuse BEFORE you use it. Otherwise you gotta do all of this extra simplification every time.\[\Large\rm \sqrt{1872}=12\sqrt{13}\]It's just a lot easier to carry this number around, isn't it? :d
OMG. How stupid of me...
How did I not think of that?
I don't see any mistakes yet.. just looks like you gave yourself some extra work though hehe
the algebra is correct nontheless
lol thx you two. :)
- well i cant see anything wrong...
