yes

Answer 8

Can you post it using the "Attach File" function, or take a screenshot of it.

Answer 9

Well send a picture

Answer 10

Ty

Answer 11

I just did it

Answer 12

SOHCAHTOA
sin=opposite/hypotenuse
cos=adjacent/hypotenuse
tan=opposite/adjacent

Answer 13

MY POST SHADOW BYE

Answer 14

IM HELPING AGAIN

Answer 15

ok

Answer 16

Basically we do not have the angle so the easiest way is to solve for the angle and also have a graphing calculator out

Answer 17

ok thanks

Answer 18

@dude check if I'm right lol i'm kinda rusty on math math rn

Answer 19

Other way around for hypotenuse and adjacent

Hypotenuse = 37.4
Adjacent = 17.8

Answer 20

Yes he's right lol ^

Answer 21

Boi everything else was right

Answer 22

So knowing this, we can solve for the angle, which for this we can use the formula cosine (x)=adjacent/hypotenuse

Answer 23

Plug the numbers in
cosx=17.8/37.4
cosx=0.47593

Answer 24

however we still need to find the angle and we need to get rid of the cosine in front of it so we can use inverse cosine
cos^-1(0.47593)=61.58
Which makes sense because seeing the actual triangle, the right angle is 90 and the other side seems somewhat like a 30 degree angle, but never assume

Answer 25

thank you so much
