Someone check my answer and help me round it.
14.47
Actually, 14.477
its 75,5 @ sbuck98
arc sin 2/8
arc cos not sin
arc cos 1/4
Could you help me with a few more until I get this
oh yes
How would I write 75.5 in pie?
pie is 22/7 right
75.5 x 22/7
yes
Thank you
237.285714286
that's your answer
It showed that was incorrect for my practice too:( I'll never get the hang of this:(((((
@Daniel56k
okay so can i see the question
I got it, I solved it wrong, it was 75.52. could you help with more please
@Daniel56k
do u know this SOH CAH TOA
Not much, help me on this one if you'd rather @Daniel56k
arc tan 3/9
18.435
is that angle A? & then I just divide by cosine and 2/8? @Daniel56k
Please hurry & help me, I'm using tacobells wifi bc my home got flooded in the bad weather. @Daniel56k
@sbuck98: would you please share all of your work, so that the rest of us will know how you got your results? You may get better feedback that way.
I've been asking someone to step me through this. Can you? I do online school so I've had no lessons on this due to my lack of internet. @mathmale
I just need someone to teach me how to find the angle. I know how to do the last part. Could you explain? @mathmale
Note that this triangle is a right triangle, because one of the angles is 90 degrees. Because of this fact, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the hypotenuse. Does this vocabulary sound familiar to you?
Your right triangle has two legs (as well as the hypotenuse). Square the lengths of these two legs. Sum up those 2 squares. Find the sqrt of the result. Mind sharing your work?
The pythagroean theorem is that they're all equal right?
Okay, I got 12 for my sum. and the square root of 12 as 2 sqrt 3
Sorry, no. Better look up Pythagorean Theorem; it's one of the most basic tools in algebra and geometry, also in trig. Write out the P. Theorem after you've looked it up.
But did you square the lengths of the legs? I think not. Must do that.
The square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.
How do I square the other two legs when I don't know what they are?
Share your png file. Looks like we're talking about 2 different problems here. Best if you'd please share only one problem per post to avoid this confusion.
Explain what you mean by "but I don't know the lengths of the legs." ??
Review: a right triangle has ONE hypotenuse and TWO legs.
9+3=12, you told me to square the sum.. then the other two legs that I don't know.
What does "sum" mean to you? We have a major misunderstanding here, I'm afraid.
The sum is the total amount.....
And what does "square" mean in this context?
Square root... A perfect square, the square root of 12 is 2 sqrt 3
True, but I asked y ou to square the lengths of the 2 legs, not to find their square roots.
What are the lengths of the 2 legs?
9, and 3.
What is the square of 9? No, not the square root, but the square.
3? isn't squaring & square root the same thing?
Absolutely not. The square root of 4 is 2. The square of 4 is 16, which is 4 times 4.
oh so it's 81 & 9!
81+9=90
Yes. Now add those two squares together (that is, find their sum).
I did above
Now you'll need to find the length of the hypotenuse. How would you do that? Important: what is the name of the operator you must apply to 90?
Pythagorean theorem?
You squared 9 to get 81. You squared 3 to get 9. You added these two squares together. Now, you want to find the length of the hypotenuse. What is the opposite of "square"?
sqrt
Yes. What is sqrt(90)?
3 sqrt 10
Yes. That's the length of the hyp. Find the value of Sqrt(10) using your calculator.
3.16
Now multiply tht by 3.
9.48
Now, how many decimal place accuracy do you want?
3
or 4
4 would be best.
type into your calculator: Sqrt(90). Round off the decimal fraction to 4 places. Your result?
9.486
That's 3 decimal place accuracy. Thought you wanted 4 decimal places.
That's fine
Satisfied? Learn something helpful?
Yes
Good to work with you. Good luck!
Wait, I still have to find the angle... @mathmale
Can you find the length of the "adjacent side" of the u nknown angle? What is it?
no
An "adjacent side" is the side right next to the angle you're trying to measure. Look at your diagram again.
In other words: Find Angle A. What's the length of the side (Not the hypotenuse) next to Angle A?
and what's the length of the side OPPOSITE Angle A?
