whts m<D ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I dont know yet I have to figure that out too :/

rishavraj (rishavraj):

see sum of all angles of a triangle = 180 u got values of two angles...so find the value of third angle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oooh okay so D is 69 degrees

rishavraj (rishavraj):

yup...... :))and lol only two options mention tht value.. :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A and C, hmm but I need to find sides BC and CD

rishavraj (rishavraj):

remember sin x = opposite/hypotenuse

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would I plug 69 into sin?

rishavraj (rishavraj):

as u wish.....like u can also do cos(21) = BC/18

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my calculator said there was an error :o I don't know what BC is so I plugged in x over 18

rishavraj (rishavraj):

18 cos(21) = BC cos(21) = 0.9335.................

rishavraj (rishavraj):

creepy value -_-
