Question

I'm quite confused.
A right triangle has legs e and f and hypot. h. e = 10. The angle opposite leg f is 35*. What is the length of the hypotenuse?

Answer 1

I know I need to use the pythagorean theorem when I get the side length, and I know how to get the side length. but do I use sine, cosine, or tangent?

Answer 2

Tangent

Answer 3

Can you explain, please?

Answer 4

I'm confused when finding which one to use.

Answer 5

Tangent is the only one that involves finding the hypotenuse, using both legs .

Answer 6

Ah, ok. Can you wait around so you cam confirm if my answer is right?

Answer 7

Yep

Answer 8

What did you get ?

Answer 9

Working it out right now.

Answer 10

You can go somewhere else if you'd like, i can tag you.

Answer 11

Tan35 = o/h

Answer 12

Its fine .

Answer 13

Tan35 = o/a not o/h.
Tan35 = f/10

Answer 14

Wait the angle is 35 degrees ?

Answer 15

Yes.

Answer 16

What is e then ?

Answer 17

e = 10

Answer 18

Tan35 * 10

Answer 19

So e and f is 10 ?

Answer 20

Sorry.

Answer 21

F = unknown
E = 10
H= unknown
Angle = 35

Answer 22

Oh i got it okay

Answer 23

0.7002 * 10 = 7.002

Answer 24

F = 7

Answer 25

10^2 + 7^2 = c^2

Answer 26

170 = c^2

Answer 27

sqrt170

Answer 28

Which cannot be reduced. Or equals 13.04

Answer 29

So then H = 13.03

Answer 30

Not 13.04

Answer 31

How does it look?
