okay so for point S would it be SOH: 3/5 CAH: 4/5 TOA: 3/2

HI!!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

last one is wrong i think

OpenStudy (misty1212):

\[\frac{\text {opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

HIII lol oh really? hmm what would it be then?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

what is the length of the side opposite angle S?

OpenStudy (misty1212):

btw i think you probably just reduced wrong

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

sin(S) = 3/5 ... true cos(S) = 4/5 ... true tan(S) = 3/2 ... false

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh hmm do you know what i did wrong @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

follow what @misty1212 gave you tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

in this case, the opposite is 6, the adjacent is 8 so reduce 6/8 to get ???

OpenStudy (misty1212):

hint, it is not \(\frac{3}{2}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh so it would be 3/4

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yes tan(S) = 3/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okidoki thanks :P

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

no problem
