I have a few questions for geometry that I need to be checked. Can someone help me check them? I'll post pics

cna you help me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hang on let me check out the attachments...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All together I have 14 questions I'm not sure about. You don't have to help me with all; of them though, if you don't want to

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1) sorry idk 2) what is sin. and cos. ? 3) what do you know about triangles and that converting stuff? Hope this helps. This is a little hard

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you don't know how to help me...?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sammixboo @whpalmer4 @radar @EclipsedStar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please help me!

OpenStudy (amistre64):

youre perimeter is off what is the perimeter of the usual 30 60 90 triangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1:2 squareroot 3

OpenStudy (amistre64):

and 2 is your hypot right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (amistre64):

we scale it so that: k(1+2+sqrt3) = Perimeter but 2k = 7, what is k?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3.5

OpenStudy (amistre64):

we dont have decimals in our options, lets keep it as k = 7/2 7/2 (1+2+sqrt3) 7/2 (3+sqrt3) whats the results?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it A?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

im not doing a guessing game. this is basic arithmetic here, multiplication ...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

a (x+y) = ax + ay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7/4

OpenStudy (amistre64):

7/2 (3+sqrt3) 3(7/2) + 7(sqrt3)/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

21+ 10.5

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i take it you are trying to use a calculator ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (amistre64):

quit it ... what is 3(7/2) ? 3*7 is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

21

OpenStudy (amistre64):

then 21/2 + 7sqrt3/2 is what we want, which is what the options look like

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

sure, that matches it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you check the rest?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i dont kow miles to feet ratio, gonna have to google that one but its pretty close to me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is 15 correct?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if i have no issue with it im not going to bring it up, so yeah ... 15 is fine

OpenStudy (amistre64):

what does your material define the feet to miles ratio as? the wolf may be being too precise

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It says to the nearest tenth, so wouldn't 1.8miles be the correct answer?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

that all depends on what your ratio needs to be. i dont have your material so i wouldnt know if they use an approximate ratio or not. 1.8 is what im getting, but 1.9 is not that far off depending on how accurate we need to be. its like using pi = 3 , or pi=3.14, or p=3.14159 .... the accuracy of your conversion ratio affects the end results.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know what it is for my material

OpenStudy (amistre64):

then you cant define it just yet. 1 mile is about 5280 feet is prolly standard. and that gets us 1.788 miles, so 1.8 is what id go with

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, thanks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What about the third one?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

that was the third one, can you tell me whats bad about the 4th one?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

its an easy mistake ... and its due to a bad setup really.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, I don't see it...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

then how did you choose that option?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For this one I guessed. I don't know how to do this

OpenStudy (amistre64):

well, south of west is good, we either need to define the length of the hypotenuse, or the angle ... which one are you more comfortable with?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to be honest, none. But we can go with angle.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if the legs of a right triangle are 12 and 26, what the length of the hypot? this is the most basic formula for geometry

OpenStudy (amistre64):

angle is pfft, let do pythag thrm

OpenStudy (amistre64):

now is when you can use your calculator :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a^2+b^2=c^2 12^2+26^2=c^2 12^2=144 26^2=678

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is that correct so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c^2 would be 820

OpenStudy (amistre64):

26^2 = 676

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, whoops

OpenStudy (amistre64):

144 676 ------ 820 so c = sqrt(820)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

28.63

OpenStudy (amistre64):

so our distance is about 29, which makes our option an angle of 25 instead

OpenStudy (amistre64):

so about 29 miles away, yadayada

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A or C then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

what did we say was wring with D?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

A

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the last question is good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you hlelp me with some more?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

ive got others that are waiting for my attention ... its a long queue

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you

OpenStudy (amistre64):

good luck :)
