i need some answers checked
i chose 45
@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?
sine and cosine?
it can't be both which trig ratio involves the adjacent and hypotenuse?
|dw:1529510275433:dw|
cosine
cosine
good now calculate the hypotenuse of the triangle
i think somewhere near 55-60 feet?
cos(theta) = adjacent/hypotenuse cos(27 degrees) = 50/hypotenuse solve for hypotenuse
try to cross multiply first and solve for the hypotenuse
i got somewhere near 56, i think i did it wrong..
56 is the correct sol'n
i chose C
not quite remember that cos is adjacent/hypotenuse not opposite/hypotenuse
oh, B then,
which side is adjacent to angle x?
which side of the triangle is next to angle x? without being the hypotenuse?
there are two sides that aren't the hypotenuse. the 18 side and the 80 side. which one is closer to angle x?
sorry, pc reset, i'm back
18?
@Vocaloid
Good So 18 is the adjacent side Making cos = adjacent/hypotenuse =?
0.219?
@Vocaloid sorry i had to do some errands
Good but it rounds to .220 = your solution
