Not too bright in math Help please? fan, medal, testimony
You can make use of the fundamental trigonometric relation: cos^2(x) + sin^2(x) = 1
z/y
tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x) => sin(x) = tan(x)*cos(x) = (z/10)*(10/y), so sin(x) = z/y
I get what youre saying, and it made me understand. but not for tis question. would I use the cos equation? @M4thM1nd
This is a 90deg triangle, so cos(50) = y/z => z = y/cos(50)
if you understand the ralations between sin, cos and tan and the sides of the 90deg triangle this kind of question can be solved very easily
For instance, in this same question: sin(50) = x/z cos(50) = y/z tan(50) = x/y
In addition, you can use z^2 = x^2 + y^2 to solve others problems too
In that case, for this question, the answer is C?
Consider the triangle ABC, then sin(60) = 9/AB, so AB = 9/sin(60)
ugh ): im a lost cause in math, im sorry @M4thM1nd
Here's one way of doing it: Remember \[\LARGE \tan x = \frac{\sin x}{\cos x}\] So if you multiply both sides by cos x you get: \[\LARGE \cos x \tan x = \sin x\] Now since you're given both cos x and tan x you can multiply them together to get sin x.
Oh there are multiple questions here, oh well.
Remember that the hyponenuse is the opposite side of the 90 deg angle
sin of an angle "o" is the defined as (opposite side of angle "o")/(hypotenuse). cos of an angle "o" is the defined as (adjcente side of angle "o")/(hypotenuse).
tan of an angle "o" is the defined as (opposite side of angle "o")/(adjcente side of angle "o").
So for this question id say that we relate because of the fact that they're hypotenuse?
In the image of this last question, if i want to calculate sin(60), teh opposite side of angle 60 is 9 and the hypotenuse is AB, so sin(60) = 9/AB
