is H the same as h?
OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):
yes
OpenStudy (freckles):
ok do you know what side is not touching angle H (this is the opposite side)
what measurement does this side have?
OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):
5?

yes the opposite side measurement is 5
now we just need to identify the adjacent side and it's measurement
OpenStudy (freckles):
the adjacent side is the side touching the angle (that isn't the hyp)
OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):
12?
OpenStudy (freckles):
that is right
OpenStudy (freckles):
now you just put your opp/adj
and you have your tangent ratio

OpenStudy (freckles):

it says 0.4166666667
OpenStudy (freckles):
I would leave it as just 5/12
OpenStudy (freckles):
are you suppose to round it ?
OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):
oh 5/12 is the answer lol
OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):
no lol

yes we already found the tangent of angle h earlier
it look like you were trying to round the answer
OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):
Thank you!(: can u help me with one more?
OpenStudy (freckles):
maybe
OpenStudy (freckles):
:p
OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):

sorry got confused but the answer is 5/12
OpenStudy (freckles):
well 5/12 is a fraction or a division of 5 by 12
but 5/12 is as pretty as the answer will come for that one since it is a repeating decimal
OpenStudy (freckles):
but anyways what is your other qustion
OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):
yeah i see that now thanks
OpenStudy (mckenzieandjesus):
it is triangle ABC, AB= 3 and AC=9. Find M<B to the nearest degree.
