Question

PLEASE HELP







Find the measure of angle y. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. (please type the numerical answer only)

A right triangle is shown with one leg measuring 7 and the hypotenuse is labeled 12. An angle that is not 90 degrees is marked y.

Answer 4

It depends on what side the angle y is opposite to.

Answer 5

I think the opisite it is to is the opposite
not the hypotense its a right triangle and y is connected to hypotense

Answer 6

Clearly. But is it opposite to the side with length 7 or the side with unknown length?

Answer 7

y is connected to the hypotense, and the adjecent

Answer 8

opposite to side 7

Answer 9

So would the triangle look like this?

Answer 10

yes! :)

Answer 11

Ok, we're just gonna use the property of sin for this then. Do you know what sin is? Might want to refer to sohcahtoa

Answer 12

sin = opposite over hypotense?

Answer 13

Exactly. So sin in this case would be what?

Answer 14

7/12

Answer 15

@LegendarySadist now what?

Answer 16

Ok, so now you have two steps left. First is to convert this to decimal form. Use a calculator for that.

Answer 17

.583333333333333

Answer 18

@LegendarySadist next?

Answer 19

Now we just apply the asin to find the angle sin right now we have the sin of the angle. So asin(.583) would be the answer. Calculate that in a calculator

Answer 20

0.622416255 rad?

Answer 21

Do it in degrees, you're finding the angle of it so they probably want degrees.

Answer 22

has to be a decimal rounded to nearest 100th

Answer 23

Right

Answer 24

0.62 I don't think the angle is that small...

Answer 25

BRUH YOU ARE IN RADIANS MODE, SWITCH TO DEGREE MODE

Answer 26

idk how >_< can you do it XD im in computer weird google calculator mode

Answer 27

Use this site http://web2.0calc.com/ The degree and radian modes are in the bottom left corner of the calculator

Answer 28

ugh I don't get it it wont give me answer -_-

Answer 29

Im unexperienced with trig I just started

Answer 30

Just put "asin(.583)" in the bar of the site I gave you and make sure you are in degree mode.

Answer 31

0.583 again? that transalates to 0.58 that's smaller then 0.62. the angle cant be that small

Answer 32

hello? @LegendarySadist

Answer 33

ASIN(.583) PUT IN ASIN*(.583) THIS IS NOT HARD JUST ENTER IT IN THE CALCULATOR ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ENTER "ASIN(.583333333) IN THE CALCULATOR

Answer 34

wont tell me answer >_<

Answer 35

Yes it will. We aren't even doing math anymore, we're literally just putting "asin(.583) into the calculator. Just copy/paste what I have in the quotations: "asin(.58333333333333)"

Answer 36

I did
it did nothing
under it says 360 degrees, but I know that wrong angles only stretch to 180

Answer 37

Well I can't help you. I have guided you through the problem and I am not a calculator guide. If you don't know how to operate a calculator I have no idea how you made it to trig.

Answer 38

im in 8th grade I shouldn't be in trig )::

Answer 39

@LegendarySadist it doesn't work and my ipads super slow.......

Answer 40

Do you not own a calculator?

Answer 41

im at my dad friends house who doesn't

Answer 42

we are staying for a week

Answer 43

@LegendarySadist come on its just a calc

Answer 44

If you knew you were going to do math, you should have brought one. And the website I provided you works fine.

Answer 45

it was super glitch and wouldn't type well and load

Answer 46

lol your even a "human calculator" ;)

Answer 47

Well it is solve-able without a calculator, but it would be a ton of work.

Answer 48

come ooooon why cant you halp meh. plz I don't have much time im missing my Netflix watching....

Answer 49

Just be decent Ill fan u and medal of course @LegendarySadist but I don't think your a bribe type -_-

Answer 50

Do you have skype? I can show it to you on there. If not, you'll have to get your calculator going.

Answer 51

I cant Skype strangers ): idk ur age idk if ur a boy or girl (im a girl). And I don't have Skype, and I think you already know the answer ;p

Answer 52

Well then you'll have to get the ol' calculator working.

Answer 53

I doubt they will help me but if they do :p
@amistre64 help @AriPotta help @adrynicoleb help @Awolflover1 help @A_clan help

Answer 54

You could also put in \[asin(\frac{ 7 }{ 12 })\] btw
