Is anyone good with trig?

The picture shows a triangular island:

A right triangle is shown with an acute angle equal to 55 degrees. The length of the side of the triangle opposite to the acute angle is r. The length of the side of the triangle adjacent to the acute angle is s. The length of the hypotenuse is q.

Which expression shows the value of q?

Hey Misty. I forgot to put I  suspect that it is  s/ cos55.

Gdeinward · Answer

I did the math but am worried it is incorrect.

misty34 · Answer

I think you're right on that

Gdeinward · Answer

Thanks. I thought so as well. Never hurts to have reassurance.

misty34 · Answer

You're welcome. I'm the same way with some questions.

cos 55° = adjacent side / hypothenuse

or

sin55° = opposite side / hypothenuse

hypothenuse = q so from these above wrote just you need calcule the value of q

hope helped
