can someone give me a basic run down on proving easy trigonometry ? Please ! ! !!!
How easy? :P
like uhm- can i show you an example question? \[BD = 10(\sqrt{3}-1) \]
|dw:1472503523697:dw|
show thatt* BD=10(3√−1)
Ah, in such questions you need to apply formulas like Sin x = Side1/Side2
Let us walk step by step, how many triangles do you see?
two
Cool, that means two such formulas will be applied. One each for one triangle. Next step is to figure out whether to choose Sin, Cos or Tan. Do you know how to do that?
we're given the hypotenuse and adjacent, so cos?
um, which one is 15 and which is 45?
i cant figure it out in the image, sorry
the top triangle corner is 15 and the bottom one is 45 soz i didnt draw it properly
AD = 15 and DC = 45 ??
angle BAD is 15 angle DAC is 45
Ah, okay Hmm, try using cos and see what you get..
Glad that some people are trying to give you a basic introduction, but even "easy trig" is so broad a subject that your asking for a rundown on it is far beyond the scope of this site. Please ask specific trig questions instead.
