solve the cos(b)

@mathstudent55 @mathmate

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

do you know the cos law what say ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

in case of angle B for example

OpenStudy (mathhero):

no

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

you dont learned it again ?

OpenStudy (mathhero):

wait yes i do

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

???

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

sure ?

OpenStudy (mathhero):

yes!

OpenStudy (mathhero):

how do i solve for B

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

cos B = adjacent side divide hypotenuse do you know this ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so than how will be ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

cos B = ?

OpenStudy (mathhero):

yes i know that @jhonyy9

OpenStudy (mathhero):

@Photon336

OpenStudy (mathhero):

@mathstudent55

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

than you need solve it how many will get ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

cos B = ? B = arccos ?

OpenStudy (mathhero):

but i dont get how

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

cos B = adjacent side divide hypotenuse adjacent side what is the length of ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

and what is the length of hypotenuse

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

substitute there please

OpenStudy (mathhero):

the length of the hypotenuse is 5

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes and the length of adjacent side ?

OpenStudy (mathhero):

3

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

3 is the opposit side

OpenStudy (mathhero):

oh yes

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so than cos B = ?

OpenStudy (mathhero):

4

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

divide by 5

OpenStudy (mathhero):

wait 4/5?

OpenStudy (mathhero):

is that what you want me to do

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes exactly cosB = 4/5 so now B = ?

OpenStudy (mathhero):

.8

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

no read what i wrote little above

OpenStudy (mathhero):

oh

OpenStudy (mathhero):

-4/5?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

no cos B = adjacent / hypotenuse B = arccos a/h

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so this will be the value of angle in radiani

OpenStudy (mathhero):

i know cos B is 4/5

OpenStudy (mathhero):

so b is 5/4

OpenStudy (mathhero):

?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

no you know that cos B = 4/5 from this result that B = arccos(4/5) ok. ?

OpenStudy (mathhero):

so B is arccos4/5

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes and than you rewrite it - moment please

OpenStudy (mathhero):

i rewrite it to?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

looke it here please http://www.rapidtables.com/calc/math/Arccos_Calculator.htm

OpenStudy (mathhero):

wait what do i rewrite it to?

OpenStudy (mathhero):

so the answer isnt B arccos 4/5

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

where you need writing the value of arccos so there write please 0,8 and looke what will get in radiani

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

you get it ?

OpenStudy (mathhero):

no sorry

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

after you write there 0,8 please push the calculator button there is below of where you wrote 0,8

OpenStudy (mathhero):

it doesnt let me write 0,8

OpenStudy (mathhero):

so the cos B would be

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

moment please

OpenStudy (mathhero):

what?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

looke please on this

OpenStudy (mathhero):

i did how did it let you type that it didnt for me

OpenStudy (mathhero):

so the answer is 38.87

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

exactly - so do you understand it now ?

OpenStudy (mathhero):

YES THANKS!!!

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

and this answer is in radiani

OpenStudy (mathhero):

ok

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

np was my pleasure and anytime good luck bye bye

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):
