My algebra teacher got us all to remember that word because...
Soh - Sin = Opposite / Hypotenus
Cah - Cos = Adjacent / Hypotenus
Toa - Tan = Opposite / Adjacent
Sin, Cos, and Tan are what you can use to find missing triangle sides if you know at least one other angle besides the 90 degree angle.

No, but there is a way of creating them. If you let 
a = 2xy
b = x^2 - y^2 where x > y
c = x^2 + y^2 

And a^2 + b^2 = c^2 You can create these sides to your needs. For example

x = 5
y = 2

2xy = 2*5*2 = 20
x^2 - y^2 = 25 - 4 = 21
x^2 + y^2 = 25 + 4 = 29  which is not well known but it is a right angle.

29^2 = 20^2 + 21^2

841 = 400 + 441
841 = 841

Just one further comment. It is easy to check to see if the triangle you are talking about is a right triangle. Just use a^2 + b^2 = c^2. 

Generally it is unnecessary to either create your own or memorize ones you have come across. 

I think any math teacher would say "why bother?"
If you are not satisfied, put a reason for doing this in the comments.

Answer this math question pls I'm in a rush
777dan777 [17]

Answer:

61/18

Step-by-step explanation:

Make the mixed fraction an improper fraction first. So instead of 1 1/3, it'll be 4/3.

Now in a rectangular prism, there's two of each congruent sides (three pairs in total).

You'll need to multiply (4/3)(3/4) by 2 because there's two of them.

This gives you (1)(2) which equals 2.

Next, take another set --> (4/3)(1/3)(2) again because there's two of them.

This gives you (4/9)(2) which equals 8/9.

Last, take the last set --> (3/4)(1/3)(2)

This gives you (1/4)(2) which equals 1/2.

Now that you have all the areas of the rectangles, add them all together.

2+8/9+1/2 which equals 61/18 inches squared.

I don't under stand what is wrong.
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

In the first step, there is an issue when distributing the -3 to the terms inside of the parentheses. When multiplying the -3 to the -5, you would get an answer of +15, not -15.

The full correct process is:

(4m + 9) - 3(2m - 5) = 4m + 9 - 6m + 15

                                = 4m - 6m + 9 + 15

                                = -2m + 24

What could be the next statement that Ivan makes his proof?
natali 33 [55]

Answer: Choice A) Triangle ABC is similar to triangle ACD by AA

AA stands for Angle Angle. Specifically it means we need 2 pairs of congruent angles between the two triangles in order to prove the triangles similar. Your book might write "AA similarity" instead of simply "AA".

For triangles ABC and ACD, we have the first pair of angles being A = A (angle A shows up twice each in the first slot). The second pair of congruent angles would be the right angles for triangle ABC and ACD, which are angles C and D respectively.

We can't use AAS because we don't know any information about the sides of the triangle.
