@Directrix

Directrix (directrix):

To solve a triangle means to find the measures of the 3 angles of the triangle AND to find the lengths of the 3 sides of the triangle. Because the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180, it is clear that angle B has measure 50.

Directrix (directrix):

So far, <A = 40 a = ? <B = 50 b = 6 < C = 90 c = ?

Directrix (directrix):

You have to find the lengths of sides a and c. Use right triangle trig for this.

Directrix (directrix):

To help you get started, the tangent of <40 = the opposite side a over the adjacent side 6. tan 40 = a/6 Find a. @TylerMckinney16

Hmm im not sure.

@TylerMckinney16 Crank up your calculator to get tangent of 40 degrees/ tan 40 = a/6 a = 6 * (tan 40 degrees) a = 6 * ( ? )

OpenStudy (tylermckinney16):

Ok cool

Directrix (directrix):

It will be cool when you crank out tangent of 40 degrees. Use this calculator: http://web2.0calc.com/

0.839099631177??

Directrix (directrix):

Okay.

Directrix (directrix):

tan 40 = a/6 .83909 = a/6 a = 6 * (.83909 ) a = ? @TylerMckinney16

Directrix (directrix):

Look at the instructions and determine how the answer is to be rounded.

OpenStudy (tylermckinney16):

0.839??

Directrix (directrix):

Multiply that by 6. a = 6 * (.83909 ) a =
