HELP WITH GEOMETRY!! SOH-CAH-TOA Use the image below to answer the following question. Find the value of sin x° and cos y°. What relationship do the ratios of sin x° and cos y° share? A right triangle is shown with one leg measuring 4 and another leg measuring 3. The angle across from the leg measuring 3 is marked x degrees and the angle across from the leg measuring 4 is marked y degrees.
try drawing it for more easy understanding
okay
so do you know sin x = ? using sides what side divide what side ?
3/4?
you dont know it right
no
the sin law say sin x = opposite side divide hypothenuse - yes ?
yes
ok using this how can you rewriting than the sin x = ?
sin(x)=cosine(y)?
using what i have wrote above - using these sides - opposite side divide hypothenuse
I do not understand
i remember this
ok - do you know the pythagora s theorem ?
a^2+b^2=c^2
yes so with these knowladge can you calcule the length of hypothenuse of this right triangle ?
3/4
or without calcules do you know what are pythagora s numbers ?
No
@ibrafacts can you help for medal in this question please ?
Do you know that answer?
so than one side has length 3 and the other side has length 4 how many will be the length of hypothenuse ? using pythagora s theorem - can you calcule it now ?
What is a b and c?
yes using them
is it 3^3+4^2=c^2?
exactly so in this case c= ?
25?
not c^2 so just c= ?
5
yeah sure i can help
yes right so remember than in case of a right triangle there are one side length is 3 and the other side length is 4 so than the length of hypothenuse will be sure 5 these mean pythagora s numbers - ok. ?
So would I write as the answer: You would use the Pythagorean theorm and plug in which will give you the answer of 5.
no - the answer is other - first you know now that the length of hypothenuse is 5 so and using this you can rewrite the law of sinus in case of sin x = ?
sin=opp/hyp
just use these above wrote yes ibrafacts exactly
but please you give possibilitie to collaborate the asker - ok. ?
okay
