I need help on math. I'll attach a ss below.

You first have to use the pythagorean theorem to find the third side of the triangle can you do that
Kind of
\[2\sqrt{21}^{2}=x ^{2}+3\sqrt{2}\] is that it?
\[3\sqrt{2}^{2}\] that's what the last one supposed to look like
almost, but let's add parenthesis so we don't get confused that it's the square of the whole number \( (2 \sqrt{21})^2 = x^2 + ( 3\sqrt{2})^2\)
now let's solve for x but first let's find out what those numbers are when you \(^2\) to them so you should know that \( (ab)^2 = a^2 b^2\) and that \(\sqrt{x} ^2 = x\)
so we have \( (2 \sqrt{21})^2 \) what do you get when you square it?
|dw:1616520673520:dw|
would that be that side?
Yes!
Now do you know that tan = opposite / adjacent
so √66 / 3√2?
Yup!
I'm not sure if that is an acceptable answer or if they want us to multiply by \(\sqrt{2}\) in the numerator and denominator so that way we don't have any square root in the denominator
|dw:1616520927070:dw|
?
Well, you are on a roll!
So let's simplify it a little more 132 = 33 * 4 so what is \(\sqrt{132} =?\)
I don't think that will work bc I get a decimal I think I need something like number√number is that makes sense
\[2\]\[2\sqrt{33}\]
yes, I understand but remember you can pull out the 4 yes!
So now you have \( \dfrac{2\sqrt{33}}{6}\) you can simplify it just a little bit more and get rid of that 2 what does the denominator become?
would the answer be \[\sqrt{33} / 3\]
That would be your final answer!
Thank you so much!!!! Do you think you can help me on one more?
wait
okay
okay, yup that was the correct answer! And sure :)
cosine is opposite / hypotenuse right?
No, that's sin SOH CAH TOA Sin = Opposite / Hypotenuse Cos = Adjacent / Hypotenuse Tan = Opposite / Adjacent
so now I have to find the adjacent side?
yeah, they really are making you do a lot of work for these questions hmm
Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the adjacent side and then we use the ratio adjacent / hypotenuse and simplify it
x=√74
|dw:1616521746703:dw|
are you saying that's the adjacent side? because I got a different answer for that mhmm
oh well I thought it was the adjacent side
it would be √148?
so if we use the Pythagorean theorem \( x^2 = (2\sqrt{74})^2 - (2\sqrt{37})^2\)
\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @jkmiec26 it would be √148? \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Yes!
|dw:1616521918937:dw|
|dw:1616521974387:dw|
@AZ ??
ah, okay, let's take a step back 148 = 74 * 2 so \(\sqrt{148} = \sqrt{2 \times 74} = \sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{74}\) so now you can just cross out sqrt(74) from both the numerator and denominator
would the answer be \[5\sqrt{437} / 148\] ??
no, you cannot simplify sqrt(10952) to 5 sqrt(437) I don't know how you did that
But let's go back one step before you multiplied it all |dw:1616522674833:dw|
|dw:1616522696994:dw|
remember \(\sqrt{a\times b} = \sqrt{a} \times \sqrt{b}\) so \(\sqrt{148} = \sqrt{2 \times 74} = \sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{74}\)
sice you get 74 in both can you cancel out?
since
Yes! And what are you left with?
√2 / 2
Tysm! I really appreciate your help
You got it! Well done :))
It was my pleasure!!
