OpenStudy (dtan5457):

I made the triangles, got the hypotenuses, and got tan a=5/12 and tan b=-8/15 multiplied to -2/9... is this right?

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

yes except it says tanA < 0 so (-5/12)*(-8/15) = 2/9

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

i also believe the thetas for both is the acute angle?

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

oh.

OpenStudy (dtan5457):

your right, thank you.

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

yw :)
