Question

Please help I will fan and medal!

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

@welshfella Could you help?

Answer 3

I have this question and another just like it and then I am finished with my homework.

Answer 4

sin x = opposite side / hypotenuse = 8 / 17

Answer 5

SOH-CAH-TOA - have you heard of that memory aid?

Answer 6

calculate 8/17 then use ur calculator to find the value of angle x
enter sin-1 (value of x)

Answer 7

firrst use ur calculator to find 8/17 also!

Answer 8

So when I do 8/17 I get 0.47

Answer 9

Is that right?

Answer 10

more accurately its 0.4706

Answer 11

Then how do I do sin-1 on a calculator?

Answer 12

now thats the sine of x
so to find x you use the sin-1 function on your calculator

Answer 13

there should be a button for it - you probably have to press the shift key as well
- it must be a scientific calculator

Answer 14

0.4899?

Answer 15

no - x should be an angle between 20 and 30 degrees

Answer 16

have you got your calculator set to radians?

Answer 17

I'm not sure

Answer 18

because that would be the value of x in radians

Answer 19

I have a scientific calculator, but I don't know how to put in sin-1

Answer 20

is there a set up key on ur calc?

Answer 21

this is the exact calculator i have

Answer 22

well you must have put sin-1 in correctly or you wouldn't have got 0.4899 which is exactly right in radians.

Answer 23

press SHIFT SIN-1 then 0.4706

Answer 24

28.07?

Answer 25

yes thats correct

Answer 26

And that would round up to 29, correct?

Answer 27

you need to press the mode button to change rad to deg right?

Answer 28

Yes I figured out how to do that

Answer 29

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

Answer 30

This is my last one

Answer 31

Would the first one stay 28.07 or would it go up to 29 for my final answer?

Answer 32

no you need to round to the nearest 1 hundredth - that's 28.073 ---> 28. 07 the second place after the decimal pont is the hundreds

so the answer is 28.07 degrees

Answer 33

Okay :)

Answer 34

apply SOH-CAH-TOA

sin = opposite / hypotenuse
cos = adjacent / hypotenuse
tan = opposite / adjacent

opposite angle y is 5
adjacent to angle y = 14

so which trig ratio , sin cos or tan do we use?

Answer 35

Tangent

Answer 36

right!

so we have
tan y = 5/14

now you can find y in a similar way as for x in last problem

this time use tan-1 on ur calc

Answer 37

19.651?

Answer 38

5/14 = 0.35714

enter SHIFT Tan-1 0.35714

Answer 39

yes

Answer 40

Which would be 19.65

Answer 41

these are quite easy after you've practiced a few

Answer 42

yea

Answer 43

Yeah I think I will get the hang of them. Thank you so much, you were such a big help!
