Is anyone here good at Math?

twister207:

No.

Comerpickles:

..

twister207:

You asked a question and I answered...

twister207:

:D

MoonShadow:

Whats the question

MoonShadow:

Kinda and kinda not

You need to identify which trig ratio you are using. You see that you have a known angle of 45 degrees, with an opposite side of \(\bf{6\sqrt{2}}\) and wanting to know of the hypotenuse. This means that you will use the sine ratio. \(\Large\bf{sin(45)=\frac{6\sqrt{2}}{x}}\)

Comerpickles:

I put that in and it was incorrect

563blackghost:

what answer did you get?

Comerpickles:

Wait so I do the ratio? It'll be 36

563blackghost:

It's not 36. Simplify the equation. \(\large\bf{6\sqrt{2} \div sin(45)=x}\) Plug it into your calculator.

Comerpickles:

I don't know how to put sin in my calculator

563blackghost:

you should have a graphin calculator in order to geometry questions. Try using mathway.com , plug the equation and see what your answer is.

Comerpickles:

I used a different one, its equals 12

563blackghost:

yea thats right

Comerpickles:

Thanks. Also am I right about this? http://prntscr.com/j7gsbc

Comerpickles:

Just 2 more I need checked after this

563blackghost:

Not quite. Since you know of the hypotenuse and want to know of the adjacent you use cosine. \(\large\bf{cos(39)=\frac{x}{17} ~~~\rightarrow~~~ 17 \times cos(39)=x}\)

563blackghost:

ye just round to the nearest tenth.

Comerpickles:

13.20?

563blackghost:

yup

Comerpickles:

Okay thanks. (2/3) http://prntscr.com/j7gz64

563blackghost:

Which ratio would you use?

Comerpickles:

Cos?

563blackghost:

yea. So it is... \(\large\bf{cos(18)=\frac{x}{25}}\)

563blackghost:

oh wait i didnt see your answer >.< so sorry you are right!

Comerpickles:

23.80

Comerpickles:

Rounded it already

563blackghost:

your answer \(\bf{23.78}\) is correct >.< you have to round to hundreths not tenths.

Comerpickles:

Ohh

Comerpickles:

Last but not least then I will stop bothering you XD http://prntscr.com/j7h5ji

563blackghost:

which do you think is the tan?

Comerpickles:

5?

563blackghost:

5? There are 3 options....

Comerpickles:

I'm clueless, sorry

Comerpickles:

This was my response previously http://prntscr.com/j7h9ih

563blackghost:

you got the cos one right. It's just sin and tan need to switch.

Comerpickles:

So 1,2,3

563blackghost:

cos is 2, sin is 3, and tan is 1.

Comerpickles:

Okay thank you very much

563blackghost:

no problem >.<
