Find y. Y=

shayy:

shayy:

Man hurry up

planetpeebs:

ok what do u know about traingles

planetpeebs:

especailly this kind of traingle

shayy:

Right angle

shayy:

Please

planetpeebs:

m here im here

planetpeebs:

and how much does a right angle equal

littleduckling:

so you know how i helped you on the last one? y is going to be the longest side so 7^2+x^2=y^2

littleduckling:

so y is going to be a bigger number than 7, i forgot how to figure it out with angles- but if you want the last angle add the angles up and minus it from 180 because triangles angles always add up to 180

KyanTheDoodle:

Yes. The long side is called the hypotenuse and it can be found using the pythagorean theorem. \[a ^{2}+b^{2}=c ^{2}\] where a and b are the sides of the triangle and the c is the hypotenuse.

littleduckling:

thats what i just said- now shoo pls

KyanTheDoodle:

??? I'm literally just trying to help

littleduckling:

ik but i just said that-

KyanTheDoodle:

I"m not saying you're wrong, I was simply providing additional information and formatting it in a different way since I know up carets can be confusing to look at.

littleduckling:

i help them with their last one-

snowflake0531:

We're not using the pythagorean theorem to find x and y tho-

littleduckling:

ik but it works the same way tho okay? i forgot how yto do it withthe angles

snowflake0531:

You have to use those trig ratios \[sin(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}\\cos(\theta)=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}\\tan(\theta)=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}\] in this case, 45 is the reference angle, s is adjacent, y is hypotenuse, and 7 is opposite

NerdyLizard:

Is there more need for help here?

littleduckling:

no

NerdyLizard:

Ok :D

snowflake0531:

well, yes, 45 45 90 degree triangle makes it 1, 1, sqrt2

snowflake0531:

littleduckling wasn't the one who asked the question :|

NerdyLizard:

Oh lol. So what is the current problem?
