Question

The hypotenuse of a right triangle measures 10 inches, and the side opposite to ∠θ, one of the non-right angles, is 5 inches long.
The measure of ∠θ is

Answer 1

no i dont

Answer 2

Okay so you have an opposite and hypotense side do you know what trig function that is? Sin cos or tan?

Answer 3

sin

Answer 4

Good and because we don't know the angle we need to use the inverse sin so the sin with a -1 sin-1=O/H what is the opposite side and what is the hypotense side?

Answer 5

sin-1(5/10)

Answer 6

Yes so you get?

Answer 7

it didnt come out to any of the choices

Answer 8

Really?

Answer 9

a.30
b.45
c.60
d.90

Answer 10

and i got 52

Answer 11

Did you use the inverse? I got a different answer than you that is one of your options

Answer 12

yes thats what im using

Answer 13

what did you get?

Answer 14

30

Answer 15

i got 30

Answer 16

What kind of calculator do you have?

Answer 17

my cal wasnt on degree

Answer 18

TI-84 plus

Answer 19

Oh okay!

Answer 20

Yeah it's hard to remember to switch to degrees and radians

Answer 21

Do this make sense? So if your finding a angle you have to use the inverse if your finding a side and you have an angle and side you need to use just regular sin cos tan

Answer 22

yes makes sense now thank you

Answer 23

You're welcome :)
