i chose 45

@Vocaloid

Vocaloid:

"distance the person will walk on the ramp" so they are asking about the hypotenuse so you have the hypotenuse and the adjacent side, which trig ratio is this?

princeevee:

sine and cosine?

Vocaloid:

it can't be both which trig ratio involves the adjacent and hypotenuse?

Vocaloid:

|dw:1529510275433:dw|

princeevee:

cosine

princeevee:

cosine

Vocaloid:

good now calculate the hypotenuse of the triangle

princeevee:

i think somewhere near 55-60 feet?

Vocaloid:

cos(theta) = adjacent/hypotenuse cos(27 degrees) = 50/hypotenuse solve for hypotenuse

Vocaloid:

try to cross multiply first and solve for the hypotenuse

princeevee:

i got somewhere near 56, i think i did it wrong..

Vocaloid:

56 is the correct sol'n

i chose C

Vocaloid:

not quite remember that cos is adjacent/hypotenuse not opposite/hypotenuse

princeevee:

oh, B then,

Vocaloid:

which side is adjacent to angle x?

Vocaloid:

which side of the triangle is next to angle x? without being the hypotenuse?

Vocaloid:

there are two sides that aren't the hypotenuse. the 18 side and the 80 side. which one is closer to angle x?

princeevee:

sorry, pc reset, i'm back

princeevee:

18?

princeevee:

@Vocaloid

Vocaloid:

Good So 18 is the adjacent side Making cos = adjacent/hypotenuse =?

princeevee:

0.219?

princeevee:

@Vocaloid sorry i had to do some errands

Vocaloid:

Good but it rounds to .220 = your solution
