I need some help with my trigonometry. I don't understand it. Could Somebody help?
Give me a minute to post it.
|dw:1428349498588:dw| Find a, b, and c
@Godlovesme
You can find a by using Pythagorean theorem
then you can find one of the unknown angles by using a trig ratio
then you find the last angle by using that the sum of angle measurements of at triangle equal 180 deg
Ok! thank you @freckles! I hate geometry, algebra is better.
well @GodGirl360 if you want to see if you can find the values yourself i will be here to check them but if you feel like you aren't sure what I'm talking about let me know we can try to work together
@freckles a=12.84 b=146 degrees c=34 degrees
hmm... these things look a little off let's look at the hyp measurement we call a first
\[3.1^2+8.9^2=a^2 \\ \sqrt{3.1^2+8.9^2}=a\]
is this what you did for a?
yes, i realized i did the math wrong while solving it. the answer is 9.42.
sounds great for a
now lets look at b
|dw:1428350268180:dw| I will round a to the nearest tenth since everything else is given in tenths but you can leave yours as hundredths unless your question says to round to hundredths or whatever
