@snowflake0531
snowflake0531:
there's information missing
theyadoreshayyy:
Triangle XYZ was dilated by a scale factor of 2 to create triangle ACB and tan ∠X = 5 over 2 and 5 tenths. my bad
snowflake0531:
Well, since it's a dilation of 2, just multiply the proportional sides by 2 o-0
theyadoreshayyy:
what are the proportional sides ?
theyadoreshayyy:
okay, but which sides do i pick ?
snowflake0531:
Use this info `Triangle XYZ was dilated by a scale factor of 2 to create triangle ACB and tan ∠X = 5 over 2 and 5 tenths.` tan is opposite over hypotenuse, so find the opposite and hypotenuse side
theyadoreshayyy:
ab and cb right ?
theyadoreshayyy:
since they are opposite ?
snowflake0531:
... first tell me which sides using tan are 5 and 2.5?
theyadoreshayyy:
2.5 is ac
theyadoreshayyy:
5 is ab right
snowflake0531:
bruh
snowflake0531:
we're not even doing that dumb triangle
theyadoreshayyy:
thats what my question is about. the TRIANGLE .
snowflake0531:
yes but if you can't even get XYZ stop looking at ABC
theyadoreshayyy:
so 2.5 xy and 5 would be xz
snowflake0531:
XZ is hypotenuse, no
snowflake0531:
tan(x) = 5/2.5 tan(x) = YZ/XY
theyadoreshayyy:
how tho ?
theyadoreshayyy:
im sorry but this doesnt make any sense to me, i hate geometry
snowflake0531:
did you know... that tangent is opposite over adjacent... don't look at hte hypotenuse
theyadoreshayyy:
okayy....
snowflake0531:
so what are the sides
theyadoreshayyy:
theyadoreshayyy:
or is that for something else ?
snowflake0531:
yes but you get your numbers wrong often So which side is how long?
theyadoreshayyy:
yz is 5 and xy is 2.5
snowflake0531:
Yes and now look back at the picture I gave you earlier, with the proportional sides How long are AC and CB
theyadoreshayyy:
you would times 5 by 2 and 2.5 by 2 right ?
theyadoreshayyy:
or no ?
snowflake0531:
yes
theyadoreshayyy:
okaay hold on
theyadoreshayyy:
2.5 times 2 is 5, and 5 times 2 is 10
snowflake0531:
Yes and which side is 5, which side is 10
theyadoreshayyy:
cb is 10
theyadoreshayyy:
and ac is 5
snowflake0531:
yes
theyadoreshayyy:
okay so now what ?
snowflake0531:
nothing, you found the lenghts now
theyadoreshayyy:
okay thank youuu
