cos(16 degrees)=

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, you can just input this into a calculator? Or do you need so solve it without?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

you can get the value of cos 16 using your calculator..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well it has to come out as a squareroot

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and i dont have a calculator

OpenStudy (welshfella):

an online calculator will do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeap, wolframalpha is a great tool online.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it isnt showing any of the answers i need

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anyone have a kik so that we could just do it over that possibly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you have any choices?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but i cant type them into the software

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, \[cos(16degree)=0.9612617=\sqrt{0.9240241}\] Dont know if you can use that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no they all have a cos under the square root sign

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, the only thing I can come up with is using Pythagoras theorem: \[a^2+b^2=c^2\] \[a=\sqrt{c^2-b^2}\] We know c=1 and b=sin(16degree) \[a=\sqrt{1^2-sin(16degree)^2}\]Maybe you can rewrite this into something, but I am not sure.

thanks i have more so
