Question

∠A and ∠C are right angles. m∠p =
degrees.

Answer 1

do you have drawen for ?

Answer 2

did it show up? sorry this is my first time posting on here

Answer 3

so than you see triangle DAB is a right triangle - yes ?
you know the length of two sides so using pythagora"s theorem you can calculi easy the length of hypotenuse - do you know it how ?

Answer 4

not really, this stuff really confuses me. I know a right angle is 90

Answer 5

DB^2 = 5^2 +6^2

DB^2 =25+36

DB^2 =61

DB = sqrt61 = 7,8

Answer 6

so now that you know the length of hypotenuse you can using to get the value of angle P sp what trigonometric function ? do you know what law of trigonometric function say that is equal adjacent side divide hypotenuse ?

Answer 7

sin
cos
tan
cot

what from these ?

Answer 8

you learned about these ?

Answer 9

yes, the hypotenuse is the opposite correct? so that would be sin?

Answer 10

how you see than use sinP = opposite divide hypotenuse
do you know the opposite side length ? bc. i think that you dont know it so you need using one trigom. function whit law what say adjacent side divide hypotenuse
do you know it what has this law ?

Answer 11

opposite side to angle P is side BC but you dont know the length of side BC - yes ?

Answer 12

no, I'm sorry. I am completely lost now

Answer 13

so do you know that the law of sinuse trigom. function say sinP equal opposite side divide hypotenuse
but you dont know the length of opposite side so you need using one trigonometric function whath law say that adjacent side divide hypotenuse

than sinuse not is right so what will be correct ?

Answer 14

you dont know it ?

Answer 15

ok.
so the cosin law say cos P = adjacent side divide hypotenuse

can you write it now what will get ?

Answer 16

Sorry, I was going through my notes trying to figure out the difference of them.

Answer 17

ok. so cos P = ?

Answer 18

that formula is a^2=b^2+c^2?

Answer 19

no this is pythagora's theorem formula so you need using now the cosin law

cos P = adjacent side divide hypotenuse

cos P = 4/7,8

cos P = 0,51

p = arccos 0,5

p = 60°

Answer 20

so from this result that angle P has a measure of 60 degree

ok. ?

Answer 21

was my pleasure

good luck

bye bye

Answer 22

and you got the 4 because it is the opposite right? I may understand a little bit now.

Answer 23

Thank you so very much!

Answer 24

the dide with length 4 not is oposite to angle P is adjacent side of angle P - looke on the posted image please

Answer 25

the side with length 4

sorry

Answer 26

That makes more sense then then what my teacher was showing us! Thank you

Answer 27

ok. np.

was my pleasure

and anytime just tag me

bye bye
