In the diagram below, find 0 to the nearest degree.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually use cos

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\cos \theta=17/35\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find theta

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to find theta take the cos^-1 of 17/35

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay can you walk me through that so i can compare my results? @10115658

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what did you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well im still trying to do it all, but when im done id like to compare the steps and results

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so step 1 is \[\cos \Theta \frac{ 17 }{ 35 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which i got nothing for?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@10115658

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that should be \[\cos \theta=17/35\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay well that confuses me more.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1.05 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so we are trying to find theta

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just use the cos^-1 to isolate theta

OpenStudy (anonymous):

was 1.05 correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\theta=\cos ^{-1}(17/35)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just type that into your calculator and see what you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont have a graphing calculator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=cos^-1+17%2F35

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the degree is 60.94 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes
