Question

Help with solving right triangles

Answer 1

Solve for the specified value of the following right triangle. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. If A = 34° and b = 22m, find c.

Answer 2

Aha i tried my best at making a triangle

Answer 3

Use a trigonometric ratio. Remember that sinA = opp/hyp, cosA = adj/hyp, tanA=opp/adj
If you know the measure of A, and you know one side length, and you want to find the hypotenuse.....

Answer 4

So for the way we are looking at it a is the opposite? and the adjacent is is b

Answer 5

so should we use CosA then ?

Answer 6

Correct. CosA. plug in known values.

Answer 7

and solve for "hypo"

Answer 8

hypotenuse, haha

Answer 9

so Cos(34)=22/c 22Cos(34)=c

Answer 10

would the answer be 18.24m?

Answer 11

yep. Nice job. :)

Answer 12

Thank you again :D

Answer 13

@StudyGurl14 S: I did it this way, but I got all but one of them right

Answer 14

The correct answer for this was 26.54

Answer 15

@freckles

Answer 16

what's up

Answer 17

so Cos(34)=22/c
c*cos(34)=22
c=22/cos(34)

Answer 18

26.54 is right

Answer 19

so you divide instead of multiplying?

Answer 20

you just solved the equation incorrectly

Answer 21

cos(34)=22/c
to solve for c I will first multiply by c on both sides
c *cos(34)=22

then divide both sides by cos(34) to isolate the c

Answer 22

like you know how to solve something like 1/2=3/x right?

Answer 23

so for this Solve for the specified value of the following right triangle. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. If B = 55.33° and b = 12.34yd, find a.
I used tan(b) because we had the opposite and we need to find the adjacent so would you do the same 12.34/tan(55.53)

Answer 24

yes
just had to see what the setup was
