This is a right triangle
so
    Cos x = 109 / 134  then x = cos⁻¹ (109/134) = 35.567°
    sin y   = 109 / 134  then y = sin⁻¹ (109/134) = 54.433°
 and
the third side = √(134² - 109²) = 77.94

To do inverse trig functions on a calculator, enter the value and press either the arcsin, arccos and arctan buttons OR sin^{-1}, cos^{-1}, tan^{-1} buttons.  The functions arcsin(x), arccos(x) and arctan(x) are the inverse functions of the 3 main trigonometric functions sin(x), cos(x), and tan(x) formed by a reflection across the line y=x. This results in the (x,y) points of sin(x), cos(x) and tan(x) switching their order (y,x) in each inverse. Form a ratio of the side lengths, press the corresponding inverse function and you will find x = 35.6 degrees and y = 54.4 degrees.

<h3>Further Explanation </h3>

Sine/ Cosine/Tangent

In trigonometry, there are three main functions sine, cosine, and tangent based on the ratios of sides corresponding to angles within a right triangle. The ratio for sine is opposite / hypotenuse. The ratio for cosine is adjacent / hypotenuse. The ratio for tangent is opposite / adjacent.

Notice in this triangle, 109 and 134 are the adjacent and hypotenuse to the angle x. This is the cosine function and thus Cos(x) = 109 / 134. 109 and 134 are also the opposite and hypotenuse to the angle y. This is the sine function and thus sin y = 109 / 134. To solve for x and y, use the inverse function arcsin and arccos.

Arcsin

As the arcsin(x) is the inverse of the sin(x) function, its function is defined as having inputs and outputs which have been reversed. The input of arcsin is the triangle side ratios (opposite / hypotenuse) and they align to the angle outputs of this function. For example, if sin (30) = 1/2 then arcsin(1/2) = 30. By pressing the arcsin button on your calculator it reverses the inputs and outputs. The expression sin y = 109/ 134 becomes arcsin (109/134) = y and y = 54.4 degrees.

Arccos

As the arccos(x) is the inverse of the cos(x) function, its function is defined as having inputs and outputs which have been reversed. The input of arccos is the triangle side ratios (adjacent / hypotenuse) and they align to the angle outputs of this function. For example, if cos (60) = 1/2 then arccos(1/2) = 60. By pressing the arccos button on your calculator it reverses the inputs and outputs. The expression cox x = 109/ 134 becomes arccos (109/134) = x and x = 35.6 degrees.

Write an absolute value inequality for the graph below. Use x for your variable. ​
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

|x| ≥ 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the absolute value means that any value of x will always be positive, meaning that the absolute value of -7 or less would be 7 or greater, which satisfies the inequality above and line graph.

In a 45 45 90 right triangle the length of the hypotenuse is 15/2 what is length on one of the legs
Nikitich [7]
Hi there!

For any 45 45 90 right triangle, the length of the hypotenuse is always the square root of 2 times one of the legs.

To get the lengths of the leg, let's divide the length of the hypotenuse by the square root of 2.

We get the following:

\frac{15}{ 2 \sqrt{2} }

When simplifying fractions like this, we want to avoid having radicals on the bottom. In order to remove the radical from the denominator, let's multiply the numerator and the denominator by the square root of 2.

We get the following:

\frac{15 \sqrt{2} }{4}

That's your answer.

Have an awesome day! :)
