- [Right Triangles Only] SOHCAHTOA
- [Right Triangles Only] cos∅ = adjacent over hypotenuse
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
We are given a right triangle. We can use trig to find the missing angle.
<u>Step 2: Identify Variables</u>
<em>POV from angle x</em>
Angle = <em>x</em>
Adjacent = 16
Hypotenuse = 27
<u>Step 3: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Substitute: cosx° = 16/27
- Inverse: x° = cos⁻¹(16/27)
- Evaluate: x = 53.6588°
You start by cross multiplying:
9 x 8 = 72
This is considered the fraction on the left's value.
You do the same for the other side:
10 x 7 = 70
This is considered the value of the fraction 7/8
72 has a greater value than 70.
Therefore, 9/10 is larger.
A) cos a = (√22)/5; tan a = (√66)/22
B) sin a = (2√2)/3; tan a = 2√2
C) sin a = (√30)/6; cos a = (√6)/6
D) sin a = 3/5; tan a = 3/4
E) sin a = (5√26)/26; cos a = (√26)/26
F) sin a = 3/5; tan a = 3/4
Explanation
The ratio for sine is opposite/hypotenuse. This means the side opposite the angle is √3 and the hypotenuse is 5. Using the Pythagorean theorem to find the adjacent side,
(√3)² + A² = 5²
3+A² = 25
A² = 22
A=√22
This means that cos a = adjacent/hypotenuse = (√22)/5 and tan a = opposite/adjacent = (√3)/(√22) = (√66)/22.
B) The ratio for cosine is adjacent/hypotenuse; this means the side adjacent to the angle is 1 and the hypotenuse is 3. Using the Pythagorean theorem to find the side opposite the angle (p),
1² + p² = 3²
1+p² = 9
p² = 8
p=√8 = 2√2
This means that sin a = opposite/hypotenuse = (2√2)/3 and tan a = opposite/adjacent = (2√2)/1 = 2√2.
C) The ratio for tangent is opposite/adjacent; this means that the side opposite the angle is √5 and the side adjacent the angle is 1. Using the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse,
(√5)²+1² = H²
5+1=H²
6=H²
√6 = H
This means that sin a = opposite/hypotenuse = (√5)/(√6) = (√30)/6 and cos a = adjacent/hypotenuse = 1/(√6) = (√6)/6.
D) The ratio for cosine is adjacent/hypotenuse; this means that the side adjacent the angle is 4 and the hypotenuse is 5. Using the Pythagorean theorem to find the side opposite the angle, p:
4²+p²=5²
16+p²=25
p²=9
p=3
This means that sin a = opposite/hypotenuse = 3/5 and tan a = opposite/adjacent = 3/4.
E) The ratio for tangent is opposite/adjacent;; this means that the side opposite the angle is 5 and the side adjacent the angle is 1. Using the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse,
5²+1²=H²
25+1=H²
26=H²
√26 = H
This means that sin a = opposite/hypotenuse = 5/(√26) = (5√26)/26 and cos a = adjacent/hypotenuse = 1/(√26) = √26/26.
F) 0.8 = 8/10; The ratio for cosine is adjacent/hypotenuse. This means that the side adjacent the angle is 8 and the hypotenuse is 10. Using the Pythagorean theorem to find the side opposite the angle, p:
8²+p² = 10²
64+p² = 100
p² = 36
p=6
This means that sin a = opposite/hypotenuse = 6/10 = 3/5 and tan a = opposite/adjacent = 6/8 = 3/4.
Answer:
Right Triangles
Step-by-step explanation:
If you would like to know the number of minutes of long-distance calls you made, you can calculate this using the following steps:
3.3 cents = $0.033
m = $3.40 / 3.3 cents
m = $3.40 / $0.033 = 3.40 / 0.033
m = 103.03 minutes
The correct result would be <span>103.03 minutes.</span>
