OpenStudy (salty):

is this the end of the world

OpenStudy (compassionate):

This isn't a math question that I'm trying to do for a test or anything. I'm out of school but I just need a refresher on this

OpenStudy (compassionate):

I remember that I would use the laws of sine and cosine and tangent butt I'm a little bit Rusty on it

jabez177 (jabez177):

Yeep... I'm out.

jabez177 (jabez177):

@518nad Dannnnn... Get over here with your signs LOL

OpenStudy (compassionate):

If you help me I'll give you a really cool warning

OpenStudy (madr4t):

I won't be able to explain it better than they do so I just sent the link

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Please don't post things like they necessarily related to the question. I've already been over this and I'm just asking about this specific example in particular

Can you tag Jamie rocks for me

jabez177 (jabez177):

@Jamierox4ev3r GET OVER HERE! LOL

satellite73 (satellite73):

dont need no laws of sine or cosine

satellite73 (satellite73):

the short leg of a 30-60-90 triangle is the long leg divided by \(\sqrt3\)

OpenStudy (compassionate):

I don't follow

OpenStudy (madr4t):

damn i was just trying to help

satellite73 (satellite73):

the ratios of a 30-60-90 triangle are \[1:\sqrt3:2\]for short leg: long leg: hypotenuse

satellite73 (satellite73):

so for example if the short let is \(10\) then the long leg is \(10\sqrt3\) and the hypotenuse is \(20\)

OpenStudy (compassionate):

Short leg being the "adjacent" measurement or aka y

satellite73 (satellite73):

short leg is the... short leg the one opposite the 30 degree angle

OpenStudy (compassionate):

I can't view it on mobile view

OpenStudy (compassionate):

So basically, tan30 = y/10

Learn the relationships of the 30-60-90 theorem. (See attached diagram)
